Aroen Kishen, whose wife and three children were killed in a house blaze in west London believed to have been caused by a firework, warns against their use ahead of upcoming Diwali celebrations.He explains how the night 'destroyed' his life as he warns 'if you use fireworks, you could lose everything'.Paul Askew, the deputy assistant commissioner of London Fire Brigade, has urged Londoners to listen to Aroen Kishen's story and follow the brigade's safety advice.
00:00To all people of London, please, please, please avoid the firework. Firework, it's not a game. Make a party at home, dance, music, so many things. If you play the game with the fire, you can play with your life. You can play with your family life, your children's life.
00:25I lost six people of my family member. When I go to the bed with my little daughter, at 10 o'clock, near about, I see the smoke at my home.
00:43And after that, I go down to check the source of fire, where they come from. So after that, I go back to upstairs. I can't see there's so darkness.
01:00Then I ask the help from my neighbors. So maybe the neighbors call to the firehouse for the help. I can't help anyone to save them.
01:17And next day, I receive the news. My 13-year-old son, my 10-year-old daughter, my younger daughter was five years. And my wife, all is gone in this fire.
01:38Nobody left. Nobody left at my home. It's so hard. I love my children. I miss my children. And I miss my wife. And I miss my lovely family friends.
