It's not only doggys go WOOF!
We have heard rumours of a serious incident reported to us by concerned members of the public in Seacroft, East Leeds, (which hasnt been reported on the WYFRS incident site) where pumps from Gipton & Stanks were mobilised yesterday to rush to the aid of a lady recently discharged from hospital. She was receiving oxygen therapy and lit a cigarette.........................
Unfortunately the cyclinder was leaking so when the cigerette was lit the oxygen ignited WOOF!!!!!! and we understand the woman has unfortunately severe burns.
These are the sorts of incidents that no amount of smoke alarms can prevent............(or risk based planning assumptions predict.)

Bit silly though really , smoking and on O2 come on where's the common sense.
i suppose so - but it does demonstrate that accidents happen. And that you cant predict stuff like this however intuitive the software you use.
Its an unfortunate hazard, My Father, (80+ yrs old) who has been a life long smoker, now needs constant oxygen therapy at home, rightly or wrongly, He won't stop smoking but needs O2 to help breath. BANG!
She will have been warned of the dangers. But won't have taken them onboard.
Anonymous above is spot on, there are some people who simply forget the advice given. Therefore there will always be fires, hence we need the fire engines and staff!!
