Firefighters are warning smokers to take care after the blaze in Horndon on the Hill yesterday night. Watch Manager Kevin Smith said: "The resident fell asleep while smoking and woke up to their armchair and nearby items alight. If you’re tired or you’ve had a drink, we’d suggest avoiding smoking indoors as it’s very easy to fall asleep while your cigarette is burning. "What's worrying is that the property had no working smoke alarms. We recommend you have a least one working smoke alarm on every level of your home and that you test them regularly.
