    Report summary

    On 30 December 2014, a fire in a permanent mobile home caused the deaths of Sadie Peters and her two sons, Joseph and George. The fire was most likely caused by a solid fuel burner, and no smoke detector was fitted inside the caravan. The substantive concern was raising awareness among people living in mobile and static caravans about fitting and maintaining functioning smoke detectors.
