A GRATEFUL local lady has thanked the fire service after smoke alarms they fitted alerted her to a blaze in her neighbour’s home.
South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue carried out a home safety check at Susan Hey’s home on Crompton Road, Barnsley, fitting smoke alarms upstairs and downstairs in the property, as well as offering safety advice around common causes of fires.
Two months later, on May 11 at around 5am, the smoke alarms awoke Susan and alerted her to a fire in an adjoining property.
She was able to call 999 who advised her to leave the property, whilst crews arrived to investigate.
Luckily there were no injuries and there was no fire damage to her home.
