Glad everyone got out okay Kaz, that's the most important thing!
Pete and Steve were hardy going back in, however being a firefighter myself, the advice i'd give to anyone who finds themselves in the terrible scenario of a house fire is get out, stay out and call 999.
We had a fire up here in the Highlands not so long ago, where a woman got out of her house safely, but returned back into the house to rescue her dog before the emergency services arrived. Tragically, neither of them came back out.
Property and belongings can always be replaced but lives unfortunately cannot.

OMG ... how quick can a fire take hold!

I'm with Dave on this one "get out, stay out and call 999"
Property can be replaced Human Life can't. It's not even worth trying to save a pet.
Some of the most regular causes of domestic fires are badly placed candles or ones left unattended, careless disposal of fags.
Another fire cause that is becoming more common is mobile phone chargers. People keep leaving them plugged in all the time.
Charge your phone the unplug it. Don't leave it on charge all night, don't leave the charger plugged in when it's not in use.
As phone chargers get older they tend to get hotter with use.
