Crews from Tolvaddon attended a small fire in the kitchen of a semi detached bungalow, crews extinguished the fire using a hosereel and two sets of breathing apparatus. An Ambulance has been requested for a female suffering from smoke inhalation. The occupants were woken in the night by their working smoke alarm which successfully detected the smoke from the fire and woke the occupants.

Smoke alarms are essential for every home. Visit our web page for valuable advice and information on how to choose, install, and maintain smoke alarms. It also offers information on other types of fire safety equipment you may want to consider having in your home, especially if you live in a remote area.
