What an absolute tragedy, our thoughts are with his family and friends at this time.

Incidentally, some people may not be aware that the fire brigade offer free home fire safety visits for anyone who wishes one. Just phone the station on 01586 552222 to arrange an appointment and a couple of firefighters will visit your home to offer advice and install alarms. This is in no way a connection to the subject, but just to highlight a service available in our area.
