On tonight’s episode of Paul Murray Live, Sky News presenter Paul Murray discusses winter house fires, Optus, banking failures, government revenue, US politics and more. Sky News presenter Paul Murray says “we all want to stay warm”, but Australians should be warned not to rely too heavily on home heating as many people die in house fires every year while trying to stay warm. “It’s not really breaking news that it’s cold in the winter… there’s a reason I mention this… the reason I mention this is because unfortunately people die in house fires every winter,” Murray said. “Every year it’s very close to, or depending on your data, even higher than the number we lose in bushfires.”
At around 1am, emergency services were called to Freeman Street in Lalor Park following reports of a house fire.
On arrival, emergency services treated four children: a nine-year-old girl and three boys aged eleven, seven and six.
