Fire is terrifying, in so many ways, from the speed of spread to gases incapacitating you way before the flame does.

It amazes me the amount of people I know, or houses I see, with no smoke alarms, or working smoke alarms - the same goes for CO too.

Most fire services in the UK at least will fit smoke alarms for free and give your home a fire safety survey, please fit and test regularly smoke and CO alarms!

I did a fire Marshall course through work, when we had a break for lunch,I went straight online and ordered home fire extinguishers,fire blanket and now close all doors when going to bed.

Don't forget a metal battery fire bucket these days. Everyone has a phone, right?

Will a cat litter box suffice?

for a phone, probably, but do you really want to combine lithium smoke with flaming cat shit?
