The original message was written by a lady whose brother

and his wife learned a hard lesson this past week.

Their house

burned down... nothing left but ashes.

They have good insurance so the house will be replaced with 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 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 plastic. 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, sure enough 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 it 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 and his house.

He has seen too many places that have been

burned down due to them.
