Do you have enough smoke detectors in your house?
http://abcnews.go.com/Business/quiz-...ry?id=23661553
If you saw my post yesterday our neighbors had a "small" house fire yesterday. After all was said and done they think it was an arc caused when we had a power surge about 3am yesterday. It went from their fuse panel to a pile of suitcases they had piled nearby and wrapped in plastic, they think that burned for several hours before it got hot enough that it melted a plastic water line nearby which put the fire out and caused the smoke which then set off their smoke detectors. They had one smoke detector on that level which is the local/state reg because there is no bedroom on that floor. Their entire basement is trashed, the unfinished space is totally burned and the finished space is probably also going to have to be gutted because of smoke damage. They are planning to sell this house in the spring because they are moving in the winter to a house they are building.
When we get home from vacation we will be adding two more smoke detectors to our basement and two window fire ladders to the upstairs. So very very scary.
