Well, here in Australia there has been what seems to be a huge number of house fires in which families, or elderly, or toddlers, or pets have died; and they seem to have (as always) disproportionally hit those least enabled to recover.
So it was rather nice to see this (courtesy of BBC, via the SMH, and Google News) appear - a self deprecating and amusing story about disaster averted.
"John and his cousin Darren, 23, were cooking, when they went to answer a knock at the door, only to return to a blazing kitchen.
Mrs Marsey said: "When they found the pan on fire they did what most people do and panicked.
"But they found a pair of my knickers in a washing basket and basically used them as a fire blanket to put out the fire."
Mrs Marsey, who is also mother to Sarah, 23, Joanne, 24, and Donna, 27, added: "I think if they had been my daughter Sarah's skimpy knickers they wouldn't have done any good. "
