pin plug after home fires

House Fires - please read Insurance  is a wonderful thing when it works but read the cause of this fire -   you may be surprised  

This photo was taken at the  scene of a house fire that occurred I've never heard this info before...

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-lawremembered she had a  Gxx  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  THEPEOPLE IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK.NOT ONLY COULD IT  SAVE SOMEONE'S HOUSE,BUT IT COULD SAVE SOMEONE'S  LIFE
