Firefighters are reminding people in the Lothian and Borders area to contact the fire and rescue service immediately by dialling 999 if they hear a smoke alarm sounding or believe there is a fire in a property.
The warning comes after a number of recent post-fire investigations revealed cases where people had heard a smoke alarm sounding or suspected a fire but for various reasons did not call the fire and rescue service immediately. Sometimes they phoned someone else first for advice on what to do or they went to investigate before raising the alarm potentially putting themselves and others at risk of becoming involved in a fire situation.
