Exploding karaoke machine destroys Aldridge home

Available for over a year

A family of six have been left homeless after a house fire caused by an exploding karaoke machine. Parents Emma and Jon Logan want to raise awareness of the dangers posed by lithium batteries. The toy, which was under their 11-year-old daughter's bed in the loft, is suspected to have burst into flames after getting too warm during recent hot weather. The mother and father told the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ their home insurance policy had not automatically renewed, leaving them with no financial protection.
