A West Lancashire shop owner has been found guilty of a string of serious fire safety regulations after a young girl was injured in a fire in his fabric shop.
The girl suffered second degree burns when her dress caught fire on a heater in the shop. Her father was also injured whilst trying to rescue his daughter form the fire.
Christopher Gerald Brown was ordered to pay £12,000 after Ormskirk Magistrates Court found Mr Brown guilty of numerous safety breaches including failure to conduct a fire risk assessment, failure to install emergency fire exits and lighting and inappropriate use of a propane heater.
