Fortunately, no one was injured in the fire but the incident has led firefighters to warn of the risks cooling barbeques pose in the hot weather. ‘When I was in bed, I smelt this horrible burning paint. A neighbour was shouting the house was on fire.‘We just watched the house burn. It was horrendous. There was a six-foot-wide wall of flames.’The barbecue was cooling off outside when it sparked the house fire during the heatwave Terry, a widower, said the fire had ‘gutted’ his home, where he had lived for 52 years with his late wife Carol and raised sons David and John.
Paul Curtis, of Saffron Walden Fire Station, said people should be extra cautious when using disposable barbeques in hot weather.
