This was sent to me in an email thought I would share, please be carefull...
Please pass this one
along to your family and
friends.
I've
never heard this info before...
Received
from a friend who is in the property insurance
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
