Speaker 3 (00:31):
Yeah, cut along, Sorry short if you didn't know already,
house burnt down habit at four o'clock in the morning,
something from the garage, a fusebox or something like that. Yeah. Luckily, Jagger,
our son was asleep in our bed because it burnt
straight up through his bedroom. Oh my god. It's something
that it's a rude awakening that you do not want
to have happened to you. So luckily, I've had a
few smoke alarm companies reached out to me, and I've

(00:54):
decided to spread the message and make sure people check
their smoke alarms. This check Timber. But how do we
get people to do it? That's the question. So we've
got this little little gimmick up us leave a competition
if you will between one thousand dollars worth of smoke
alarms installed into your house. So when the big Brisbane
Lions and Gold cost Son's game happens tomorrow, as soon

(01:17):
as that hooter goes at the start of the game
to fire it off, ye check your smoke alarm, film
it and hashtag check Timber for your chance to win.

Speaker 2 (01:25):

just reminded me that there's no battery in our smoke alarm.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
Tever, I know you absolutely.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
Company, that's why you need to get the new ones,
because they got the batteries that last ten years and
the genius watch smoke alarms interconnected through all of the rooms,
which is law now in Queensland and we are way
ahead of all the other states on that as well.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
Yeah, and so it was because of a working smoke
alarm that saved you and your family.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
Absolutely Actually when it went off, like you, I'm going
to replace the battery m four o'clock in the morning,
I sag and then I went, hang in a minute,
that's smoke. Wait a minute, the life start working everybody.

Speaker 1 (02:06):

have a mobile phone to be to wake the neighbors
to get them to call the fire gave, but they
they made it there in record time. I tried to
say the dog, couldn't find the dog anywhere? Hurt my hair?

right with you and your family. But yeah, it's it's
a good.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
You know, in a situation like that, you can't do hypotheticals.
You just got to focus on the positive. And it's
been great publicity for me and probably some place I'm
saying it's the stupidest thing I've ever done, but I
actually think it was quite funny now I look back
on it. When because I was de losed, I don't
know what was going on. You know, all this news
