A good reminder to keep any combustable materials away from the fireplace
Can you spot what went wrong here? 👀
While the residents weren’t looking, the wood basket that was too close to the fireplace, caught fire!🔥
Thankfully, someone saw smoke down the hallway and had put the fire out by the time Greymouth Volunteer Fire Brigade arrived.
This is a timely reminder to keep a metre clearance around fireplaces and heaters.
