A Swineshead woman who lost her mother in a house fire linked to illegal cigarettes has given her backing to a new fire safety campaign.
Julie Grant has joined forces with Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue and Lincolnshire Trading Standards to highlight issues with Jin Ling cigarettes and the dangers of not putting cigarettes out properly.
To coincide with the launch of a Smokefree Lincolnshire-funded video, which graphically shows how quickly this sort of fire can destroy a home and claim a life, Julie is, for the first time, telling the tragic story about how her mum, June Buffham, died, aged 71.
