Youngster Heeds Fire Safety Message

An eight year old girl is being praised for her quick thinking, after her family home at Tenambit caught fire yesterday.

Angel Gover noticed thick smoke drifting from a bedroom, and swiftly alerted her grandmother and older sister to the  blaze.

She then directed the pair to evacuate, and accompany her to a neighbour's house to call triple-0.

One of the firefighters who helped contain the blaze had taught Angel and her classmates about fire safety at Primary School last year.

Investigators have determined a faulty clothes dryer started the fire.
