STORY CATCHLINE: CANDLE
Families stepping back to Charles Dickens’ time and lighting Christmas candles risk burning the house down and killing themselves, say worried fire brigades.
In a devastating blaze in Essex at 9am yesterday, a lit candle was left unattended in a bedroom for just five minutes and the holder cracked.
The candle fell on to a bed and set light to the sheets in Goodwood Close, Benfleet, leading to a fire which caused thousands of pounds damage and put Julie Delf,, 57, in hospital.
