Subject: Fwd: House fire prevention .... please read.
Insurance is a wonderful thing when it works, but read the cause of this fire -
you may be surprised.
This is a good one for Fire Prevention Week coming up.
Please pass this one along to your family and friends.
This photo was taken at the scene of a house fire that occurred.
This is one of those e-mails that if you don't send it, rest assured someone on
your list will suffer for not reading it. The original message was written by
a lady whose brother and wife learned a hard lesson this past week.
Their house burnt down ... nothing left but ashes. They have good insurance so
the house will be replaced and most of the contents. That is the good news.
However, they were sick when they found out the cause of the fire. The
insurance investigator sifted through the ashes for several hours. He had the
cause of the fire traced to the master bathroom. He asked her sister-in-law
what she had plugged in the bathroom.
She listed the normal things ...curling iron, blow dryer. He kept saying to
her, 'No, this would be something that would disintegrate at high
temperatures'... Then her sister-in-law remembered she had a
Glade Plug-In, in the bathroom.
The investigator had one of those 'Aha' moments. He said that was the cause of
the fire. He said he has seen more house fires started with the plug-in type
room fresheners than anything else. He said the plastic they are made from is
THIN. He also said
that in every case there was nothing left to prove that it even existed. When
the investigator looked in the wall plug, the two prongs left from the plug-in
were still in there.
Her sister-in-law had one of the plug-ins that had a small night-light built in
it. She said she had noticed that the light would dim and then finally go out.
She would walk in to the bathroom a few hours later, and the light would be
back on again. The
investigator said that the unit was getting too hot and would dim and go out,
rather than just blow the light bulb. Once it cooled down it would come back
on. That is a warning sign
The investigator said he personally wouldn't have any type of plug in fragrance
device anywhere in his house. He has seen too many places that have been
burned down due to them.
PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO ALL THE
PEOPLE IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK.
