    Report summary

    Maureen Milton, aged 74, died after her clothing caught fire while she was attempting to light a cigarette with a long match; petrol-based emollient cream on her clothing likely accelerated the fire, and she was pronounced dead at the scene. The principal concern was a lack of awareness among medical professionals, carers, victims and families about the fire risks associated with petrol-based emollients.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Lack of awareness of petrol-based emollient fire risks

    Wider context from the report

    “Evidence given by fire investigators was that they are increasingly attending fires involving (mostly) the elderly where there is evidence of petrol based emollient cream in use. The petrol base is found in a significant number of prescribed creams and creams (such as moisturisers) which are readily available over the counter. This cream impregnates clothing and is not washed away during a normal washing programme. In the event of a fire the victim is rapidly engulfed by flames with little chance of survival. The cause of death is generally burns, not inhalation of smoke. The concern is the lack of awareness of this problem by medical professionals, carers, victims and their families. It is felt appropriate heighten awareness of this growing problem amongst health professionals and others who work in the field of prescribing such creams and those caring for patients using petrol based emollients. ”
