PLEASE read and be advised. This is worth
passing on.
Thought this was worth passing on: FIRE DANGER.
This was received
from
a
friend in the home insurance business. It is
well worth reading.
This is one of those emails that if you didn'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 his
wife
learned a hard lesson this past week. Their
house burned
down....nothing
left but ashes. They have good insurance so the
home 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 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
home
fires started with the plug-in type room
fresheners than anything
else.
He
said the plastic they are made from is a THIN
plastic. 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 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 homes that have been burnt
down due to them.
PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO ALL THE PEOPLE IN YOUR
ADDRESS BOOK.
NOT ONLY COULD IT SAVE SOMEONE'S HOME, BUT IT
COULD SAVE SOMEONE'S
LIFE.
