Dad burned shed down dangers family = no jail

A father-of-ten who put his family's life at risk after starting a blaze in the garden shed has escaped a jail term.

He had been on a drink and lighter gas binge when his wife threw him out of the house in October last year.

The 44-year-old bedded down in the shed and started a small fire in a container to keep warm but the blaze got out of control.
