I would suspect that as it was in the hall, all sorts of bits and pieces
such as school bags, boots, supermarket carrier bags full of 'stuff; were
alongside and blocked the free flow of air.
Are the air flows of YOUR freezer clear?

Even without that at the bottom of the stairs the smoke/fumes will go
straight up and into the bedrooms if any of the doors are open. You
die in your sleep...
With doors closed, and presumably no smoke alarm, by the time any one
was woken and discovered the fire the quick and easy means of exit
(stairs) would probably be blocked by the smoke/fire...
Smoke alarms save lives. Period.

This particular make of fridge/freezer has been associated with several
other fires. If the press reports are accurate, it was a Beko and there
was a recall published in July

If
anyone has got one, please act swiftly.

Could be the foam insulation in the freezer caught fire. Fumes are
very toxic.

but how did it catch fire? I would still put my money on the air ways being
blocked. 'Stuff' put down by the perforated or slatted grills which 'should'
be kept clear for a free flow of air around the motor etc.
