House Fires-PLEASE READ

Received from a friend who is in the property 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 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 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
into 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
