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-lawremembered 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
