Prayers for the Smith family

January 7th, 2012 was a nightmare to the Smith family.
Their house in Freckleton, Lancashire, England was full of partygoers celebrating Michelle Smiths 36-birthday when a small fire started upstairs where Michelle's 3 youngest children were sleeping. They were unware anything was wrong before it was too late.
Michelle's 19 year old son Reece run to the upstairs to save his younger siblings followed by his brother Andrew Smith but Andrew couldnt make it to the upstairs because of the fire.
Sadly Reece died trying to save his siblings, 4 year old twins Holly and Ella and 2 year old Jordan also passed away.

Lancashire Fire Services confirmed the smike alarms were fitted but were not working when the fire started. The family allowed the Fire Services to reveal the information in the hope other families would test their smoke alarms to avert similar tragedies.
