We Say, You Say: Fire Escape Plans
Hi Waikato,
Do you have a fire escape plan?
A fire that engulfed a house in Pokeno was found to have been caused by grass clippings catching alight on a lawnmower that was still hot from use.
Fire crews responded to the house fire on January 31, with four crews at the scene and another three dispatched.
Area Commander Geoff Purcell said that the occupants of the house were lucky to get out quickly. "This fire shows that fire can get very real, fast...It can take just three minutes for a fire to become deadly."
