Glade/Fragrance Plug-Ins can cause fires

Received from someone in the property insurance business. It is well worth reading.

The original message was written by couple whose house burnt down.. nothing left but ashes

The investigator said the cause of the fire was the plug-in type room fresheners, said they caused more fires than than anything else.

The plastic they are made from is THIN so that in every case there is 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.

The victims had one of the plug-ins that have a small night light built in it.

She said she had noticed the light would dim and then finally but after a few hours 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.

WoW wonders if those plugs which heat up insecticides might also be dangerous

Cycling on the rail way - like Velorail on the Larzac (see days out) but not as exciting but less far to go!

Just opened in St Thibery - follow old rail line south of the town to the Roman Bridge.

Goes 10 kms through the town - but you have to pedal both ways - Larzac you get to coast down hill for 15 Kms and then get towed back.

WoW recomended - Larzac one - not tried this yet.
