Should the government also issue warnings that people shouldn't iron their clothes whilst taking a shower, or that jumping out an open window on the fifth floor of a building may have a sub-optimal outcome?
We are not all morons, and to treat people as such is demeaning.

Nobody calling anyone morons I said they should not assumed everyone knows the dangers. Yes it should be common sense fumes will ignite. Thats not even thinking about the breathing of toxin fumes longer than necessary.
IF The FIRE SERVICE DEMANDING the government to make anouncement dont you think public safety warning advice is wise. I DO.
I dont care if it was maude, cameron, osbourne or devine intervention it was bad advice. The longer the government sticks head in sand keep low approach it wont get any better.
I hope the injury to this lady is enough to warn the dangers but the lack leadership over this crisis is shocking.
