An elderley man who died in a bungalow fire may have been smoking late at night. A neighbour broke into the bungalow to try and rescue the victim but was beaten back by the heat and flames and thick acrid smoke. The cause of the fire was being investigated but was thought to be caused by smoking materials.
Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service would like to warn the public of the dangers of smoking late at night or when tired and urged people to be more aware when extinguishing all smoking materials.
