Check your fire alarms!

Victoria from Torbay - Long Bay

A scary moment which made my stomach turn!

My daughter left her mirror close to the window which reflected the sunlight on to her bookshelf. The condensed rays burnt a hole through one of her favourite books, but amazingly it didn't appear to combust into a flame. I would never have thought a misplaced mirror could have the potential to burn our house down.

Served as a timely reminder to test the smoke alarms and check the insurance is up to date!!

I love our boys and girls at the East Coast Bays Volunteer Fire Brigade but am glad they didn't need to visit us today.

Doing no harm, and feeling no pain.
