    Report summary

    Reginald Cauthery was a frail man with limited mobility who lived alone and died in hospital after sustaining extensive burns in a smouldering fire at his flat. The report raised concerns that his telecare service was not reviewed despite his increased fire risk and deteriorating mobility, and that his smoke alarms were not connected to the telecare system, delaying contact with the Fire Brigade.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Dependence on other people recognising smoke alarms and calling the Fire Brigade for urgent fire assistance

    Wider context from the report

    “(2) The ability of frail and vulnerable people to get urgent help in a fire situation will often depend upon other people recognising that a smoke alarm has triggered and calling the Fire Brigade. This raises particular problems if the person lives alone and their smoke alarm is not connected to their telecare system. ”
