House fires

This photo was taken at the scene of a house fire.

House fires--please read!!!!!

Received from a friend who is in the insurance property business. It is
well worth reading.

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.

NOT ONLY COULD IT SAVE SOMEONE'S HOUSE, BUT IT COULD SAVE SOMEONE'S LIFE
