In many cases, the incidents were caused by power-boards being overloaded, unsafe indoor fireplaces, or for one family, using an outdoor cooking device to heat the inside of their home. F&R NSW Superintendent, Ian Krimmer, has warned people to keep all belongings and persons a metre from any heater, and “don’t, under any circumstances, bring outdoor equipment into the home, they produce deadly carbon monoxide gas.” Few people know that house fires are most common during cold weather.

Fire and Rescue teams are urging all people to check their smoke alarms, to not overload power points or power boards and call triple zero (000) if a fire does occur.
