I had mentioned in the last parent instructor meeting at my youngsters college the importance of space heating system safety.
Many youngsters don’t even know how dangerous space furnaces can be.
It is important for youngsters to know that there are several things that can go wrong with space furnaces and that they are not a toy. It is severely important to understand that small children can be seriously disfigurementd or even killed by space heaters. I asked that the instructors in the college give a brief lesson on what to do if there’s a fire in the house. I only asked this because I know that there was a child in the college a few years back that was killed by a household fire that was due to a space heater. The space heating system that caused the fire was sited much too close to the childrens bed. In the middle of the night, a blanket or a sheet came in contact with the space heating system and started a small flame. The flames swiftly engulfed the household and the entire family was killed. If there had been a short lesson on fire safety while in college, the tragedy might have been avoided, however space heating system safety is a big problem in this town and yet, people do not want to take preventative measures to keep the families safe. I learned that there was recently a space heating system safety seminar held at the college and I felt great about the efforts that the college was making.
