I must admit, to this day, i wonder how what a witness (the woman living opposite the flat where the fire started) saw as a "small fire in the kitchen", ended up with flames licking up out of the front room window, when there is a wall in the way, and many metres of distance. Presumably the window of the front room was closed when the fire started...or you would hope so.
Apparently, according to the witness, the occupant had managed to have time to pack his bags and had them out on the landing.
I hope they get the full details, so this cannot happen again.
I mean, surely if you were in there you would flip the breaker to the kitchen equipment, then toss a damp rag over the "small fire".
Actually i suspect this may all be irrelevant after Brexit, as i suspect that the UK government will charge (and directly enforce) its own tariffs on Chinese imports to UK. I believe that many UK electronics companies are only surviving because of the Chinese imports that they bring in......and believe that such companies will close down and go bust as soon as Brexit comes in.
