Who Would Have Thought – A Fire From A Mirror In The Bathroom?

A family of five in the UK recently escaped tragedy after returning home to find a fire raging in their bathroom, the UK Daily Mail reported this week. The blaze began after sunlight reflected from a shaving mirror set some towels alight.
A spokesman for the local Fire and Rescue service advised householders to think about the positioning of magnifying mirrors in relation to windows, and to consider any possible fire hazards that could be caused by the sun being reflected by these mirrors.
