A family of six made a safe getaway when their home erupted in flames, thanks to a working smoke alarm. The bungalow, in Beckenham Avenue, Royal Oak, caught fire just after one this morning and first arriving firefighters were confronted with a mass of flame issuing from the front of the house. But they also found all six occupants had escaped unscathed, alerted to the fire by the shrill noise of a smoke alarm in the hallway. Batteries had been refreshed within the last week or two. The house has recently been sold: the new owners maybe faced with demolishing the badly damaged house.
