SocietyMother warned of faulty smoke alarms before Queensland fire killed father and five children, court hears
A Queensland pre-inquest conference heard that the mother had repeatedly raised concerns about improperly installed, non-working smoke alarms before the 2023 Russell Island house fire. A father and his five children died. The inquest will examine whether compliant alarms and a different emergency response could have prevented the deaths.
