🚨 INCIDENT OVERNIGHT: BOXING DAY HOUSE FIRE 🚨
​White Watch have just returned from a house fire in Nuneaton with crews from Bedworth Fire Station, during the early hours of this morning.
​
​We were called to a property where a device was left on charge in a child’s bedroom and caught fire. The fire was caused by "daisy chaining"—plugging one extension lead into another. This overloaded the circuit, causing the lithium-ion battery in the device to fail and ignite, filling the bedroom with thick, toxic smoke.
​The family were extremely lucky to wake up. The fire caused damage to the carpet.

Checks were made by paramedics at the scene for smoke inhalation.

​Why This Is So Dangerous
​Daisy Chaining: Plugging extension leads into each other is a major fire risk. They are not designed to handle the combined load and can overheat rapidly, leading to a fire behind furniture or near bedding.

​The "Silent Killer": Most people don't realize that it only takes a few mouthfuls of smoke to render a person unconscious. In a sleeping household, this happens before you even have a chance to wake up.

​Our Advice to You
​✅ NEVER daisy chain extension leads. If you need more sockets, use a single, fused multi-plug bar.
✅ NEVER charge devices overnight or while you are out of the house.
✅ ALWAYS charge devices on a hard, flat surface (not on carpets or beds).
✅ TEST your smoke alarms weekly.
​The family involved tonight were incredibly lucky to escape. Please, take five minutes today to check your chargers and extension leads. Don't let a Christmas gift turn into a disaster.
​Stay safe, Nuneaton.
​

Apply for a fire crew to come and do a safe and well check at your home.
