On 13 August 2025 at 9:13 am, a call was made to the fire service after an electrical fire broke out in a child’s bedroom in a timber-frame home occupied by a lone parent and their dependants. The fire was caused by a faulty electric fuel supply, which first ignited the bed and mattress. Thanks to the rapid activation of an iMist™ Fire Suppression System, the blaze was confined to the bedroom, allowing the family to evacuate safely. The fire brigade mobilised at 9:20 am and arrived on scene at 9:34 am with two appliances, but by that time the fire had already been contained. All occupants escaped unharmed, and the rest of the house remained protected, demonstrating how effective early fire suppression can be in safeguarding lives and property in occupied homes.
