The Canning Town block of flats fire was started by smoking materials according to London Fire Brigade (LFB).
This is one of the most common causes of fire along with cooking incidents, electrical faults and arson.
Care should be taken with all of the above and sometimes it’s just following simple rules like always making sure cigarette ends are properly extinguished and safely discarded off. Making sure you never leave cooking unattended and have the necessary electrical safety tests for your home. And testing your smoke alarm on a regular basis of course.
If you live in a ground floor flat then make sure you don’t leave combustible materials around the external perimeter of the building which will help reduce the chances of an arson attack.
Often big fires can be prevented by following simple safety measures.
