Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service issues a fire safety message about carelessly discarded smoking materials. Last Monday, we attended an incident in Measham that started as a wheelie bin fire. In a brief period, the fire extended to a parked car, then into a double garage, and finally to the house itself. The cause? A cigarette that had been put into the bin before it was fully extinguished. Help prevent fires caused by smoking materials: Always fully extinguish cigarett
