All I can say its be extra safe during the holiday season: its a time when everyone lets down their guard to some degree.

Checking you fire alarms definitely, but even considering party-behavior and all that: my stepmom died 3 weeks from now last year because she went out to a christmas party and didnt bring a jacket - the drink took to her quiote merrily, she walked down the wrong road home and froze to death in a ditch in Clare: horrible storm, and she didnt even bring a jacket with her.

RIP all.

Sorry to hear about that, Overheal. I know of the accident, my boyfriends stepmother was her friend from a while back. it must have been a great shock, thinking of the rest of the family.

That's happened at few times for people coming home from parties.

Some young lads managed to get a ladder up at the front window. They could see the people inside, but there was nothing they could do.

Poor bas*ards. That image, along with the word "if" will haunt them the rest of their lives

You always think you'd have time to get out should the house catch fire - it should be a lesson for us all to be extra careful over christmas, and double check those smoke alarms.

Absolutely heartbreaking.

Yeah, I always think it would be a good idea for families to have fire drills and alternative escape plans.

This is about as bad as it gets. RIP.

Detectives have not ruled out criminal involvement in the fire which is feared to have claimed the lives of a family of seven in Northern Ireland

I realy hope that is was just a tragic accident and nothing more sinister

Apparently the father got out but went back in to rescue the family. Pretty rough.

.... damn,

They would have suffocated before any flames reached them. It's not a nice way to die, but most victims simply pass out, so its relatively painless.

I hope so, but imagine the panic and terror.

RIP

chilling to think that they were trying to get out, as opposed to going in their sleep because of smoke

It is understood there was an open fire in the house.]

From the breakingnews.ie story, but would imagine it's way too early to speculate.

Definately a very sad storey, Sincere condolences to any relatives.

Even worse when you think that they were trying to get their kids. Wonder what caused it?

A couple and their five children were feared dead today in one of the North’s worst ever fire tragedies.

The youngest of the victims was a baby, just months old, neighbours said.

Flames swept through a terrace house at Lammy Crescent, Omagh, Co Tyrone.

Fire crews from Omagh and neighbouring towns and villages fought the blaze, which apparently started on the first floor at around 4.30am.

The tiled roof collapsed and neighbours said there was little they could do to save the family, some of whom were spotted upstairs at the height of the fire.

Omagh independent councillor Paddy McGowan, a former fireman, said: “I’ve never seen anything like it. It must have been a ferocious fire.
