Nasty fire in this area, last night. Appears one fatality.
Woman woke around 2.30 AM to hear 'popping noise, sparks and flames
from an outlet.
Managed to get herself and 12 year old out, but suffered smoke
inhalation.
Another young adult is missing; assumed dead.
No information yet whether anything was plugged into the outlet etc.
Or whether anything was wired non standard etc.
Indication so far seems to be that it was the outlet itself that was
faulty.
House virtually total loss
Fire Commisioner's staff on site today to investiagte and probably
find remains of the missing person.
So recommend; anyone .......... if you suspect an outlet check,
immediately switch off that circuit and replace.
