Smoke alarm factory burns down.



Air quality tests were carried out following fears of a radiation leak after a fire at a factory which manufactures smoke detectors.

The blaze at BRK on the Waterwells business park in Gloucester started on Thursday night.

The smoke and fire detectors contain a small amount of radioactive material but monitoring outside the factory has found no trace of contamination.

The cause of the fire is still being investigated.

A team from the Environment Agency have been scanning piles of the burnt-out alarms for radioactivity and the area has been declared safe.

It is believed 350,000 smoke alarms were destroyed.

**You would think that they would at least have had one working smoke alarm in the place!
