Okay, so Friday evening we had a couple of crews from Launceston Brigade and a crew from
00:10
Ravenswood Brigade respond to reports of a structure fire at Ravenswood.
00:15
When they arrived they found a smoke-blocked house with a smoke alarm activating and had
00:21
to force entry to get inside the house.
00:24
The crews did a quick search of the house and found a male occupant sleeping on the
00:30
couch and had to wake him up and bring him outside.
00:34
So he was treated on scene for smoke inhalation and Tas Ambulance transported him to hospital.
00:40
So we had the next door neighbour hear the alarm and then phone Fire Com.
00:46
So this time of year when we're changing our clocks for daylight saving we like to
00:51
remind people to change their smoke alarm batteries.
00:56
There's also 10 year lithium batteries so you can swap out the old smoke alarms out
01:01
for the newer 10 year lithium batteries.
01:04
The fire was caused due to cooking practices and he'd fallen asleep while cooking.
01:09
Ah look I think the quick action of the crews really is the important thing here and most
01:14
probably has saved his life.
