Children need treatment after barbecue is taken inside Blackburn house

11:00am Thursday 20th December 2012 in News

TWO children needed hospital treatment when a barbecue was brought into a house in Blackburn.

The fire service and two ambulances were called to Shear Brow at around 8pm on Tuesday after the grill started to give off a lot of smoke.

One child was taken to Royal Blackburn Hospital and the second was taken to the Royal Lancaster Hospital suffering from the effects of smoke inhalation.

Both children are understood to be under the age of 10.

Watch manager Nick Ingham said: “We want to highlight the dangers of bringing things that give off smoke inside. The barbecue was obviously taking up the air and when we got there we had to put on our fans on to blow the smoke out of the house.”

Have you made this story up??
Who (with even Half a brain) would take a smoking BBQ into a home? with children.
These surely are the kind of Brain dead morons who end up on Jeremy Kyle.
We're all doomed tomorrow

you DO NOT attempt to use gas OR charcoal fired bbq's indoors (and not just because of the smoke), these things need adequate freshair ventilation to achieve proper combustion and expellation of combustion by products ie smoke sparks from charcoal, carbondioxide and watervapour from calor gas butane/propane. Otherwise the absence of freshair ventilation will consume the oxygen in the air and emit deadly carbonmonoxide which can kill. The parent who brought the bbq into the house is an ignorant person oblivious to such risktaking and should have known better.

It's hard to believe that people can be so stupid. Every year we read of people being killed (usually while camping) by these barbecues.

No matter what warnings they put on the barbecues some people just think 'it won't happen to them'.
