I wonder if some of these fires have been caused by energy saving light bulbs? I do know of several stable fires caused by them.

Gosh, that's a bit scary Purwell.
I didn't know they could do that.

Poor things and an odd coincidence after the fire at London zoo.

I was relieved to read 6 dogs were rescued from the car park fire in Liverpool, I bet they were badly shocked .

I wondered that, or maybe smoke detectors would be a good idea, they could be linked to a central office.

That was my reaction too. They are no different to children in my mind with every human emotion.

Just horrible.

According to our local news the fire brigade say a faulty generator was the cause of the fire.
