Four escape Wolverhampton house blaze
FOUR people fled to safety today after a smoke alarm alerted them to a fire at a house.
Two women, aged 58 and 27, and two teenage girls were asleep at the semi-detached council house in Goodyear Avenue, Low Hill, Wolverhampton, when the fire started just before 4am.
They were woken by the detector and were out of the house by the time firefighters arrived.
Ten firefighters spent up to two hours dealing with the fire, which is believed to have been caused by a carelessly discarded cigarette which set fire to clothes in the kitchen.
