    i received this in an email




    Subject: Fwd: : 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..


    House Fire





    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

    I have a pine fresh tree on my handlebars. It's like Kielder Forest when I'm riding. ;)

    I've got a countryside fragrance plug in on my bike, fitted with a trembler switch activator.

    Every time I get a tank slapper I can smell shit.
