Sep 01, 2023Wrexham: Sun reflecting on mirror starts house fire
Dec 08, 2023The fire started in the bedroom and the occupants were alerted by a working smoke alarm and safely evacuated
A house fire which caused the ceiling to collapse was caused by a mirror reflecting the sun, a fire service said.
North Wales Fire and Rescue were called to a house on Mold Road in Wrexham at 17:33 BST on Thursday.
The residents safely evacuated and were not harmed due to a smoke alarm.
The fire had started to spread into the attic and an area of roof had to be cut away.
Community safety and arson reduction manager Jane Honey said: "While this type of fire may seem like one of the more unusual cases, in principle it is the same as focussing the sun's rays with a magnifying glass."
