A CRAIGIE man grabbed his son before fleeing their burning Bullara Rd home early this morning.

The fire was well underway at 4.20am when the man woke to find the house full of smoke.

He raced to wake his son and together they escaped from the blazing home.

The house was fitted with a smoke alarm but the battery was flat.

The fire is thought to have been started by a kitchen grill which was left on overnight.

Fire and Emergency Services Authority said the blaze was a warning about the increased fire risk during winter.

Fire Investigation Officer Phill Cribb said heaters and clothes driers were responsible for many avoidable home fires.

Smoke alarms should be fitted outside each sleeping area and in each bedroom if the occupants smoke in the bedroom, have heaters or electrical appliances in their bedroom or if their door is shut preventing them from hearing the alarm outside their door.
Homeowners should test their alarm once a month by operating the test button and vacuum or use a soft brush to clear the grill on the smoke alarm every month or so to make sure it is dust free.Smoke and fire are killers that often strike while people are asleep. A well maintained smoke alarm is the surest way to protect your home and family.
