Fortunately, the occupants of the house, including children, were able to extinguish the fire before the arrival of the fire service. PC David Thorne, the officer in charge of the case, emphasized the potential severity of the situation, stating, “The outcome could’ve been devastating had one of the residents not smelled smoke and raised the alarm.”
