Again, utterly heartbreaking, my heart goes out to you, the survivors and the beautiful animals you lost

Thank you for sharing, it is a brave thing you have done x

The best advice I can give you is contact your local fire station, explain your concerns and they should send you out a check list of what to look out for, also as Ian said check often, we had no Idea and thought everything was safe as could be.

I think it's an extremely over looked subject and should be recognised by all members of this forum. I will certainly not take your advice for granted. Thank you.

im sorry for your loss, i was talking to a friend of mine who is a fireman he said there are wireless fire alarms on the market and if one goes off the other one will be allerted (im sorry he didnt know the range of them) maybe worth looking in to for the future. he also said not to upset yourself about the animals suffering smoke will have proberbly made them sleep and they would not have suffered.

best
Lise

Oh my god my heart goes out to you. One tip I can give is if you are using long extension leads on a reel then fully unwind them as they can get hot and catch fire as a friend of mine found out to his horror.

Horrendous.

I really must fit a smoke alarm in my rep room.

I'm glad to hear Kitty is improving.
