Space heater causes fire
when I was in elementary school a space heater caught fire to one of the trailers outside of the building.
It was an art building and I remember the teacher was always very eclectic and happy to teach art to the young children.
The trailer was very cold in the winter months and they would always lend out space heaters from the main building. A lot of the time the teachers would not use the space heaters because they are worried about children knocking into them and causing a fire. When I was young I only experienced one classroom with a space heater and it was my art classroom. Whenever I heard the news that the art building had burned to the ground, I knew the cause. Fortunately no one was hurt in the space heater fire. Everyone got very lucky and was able to escape the building before any major damage was done. The building did not make it through the fire. All of Mr. Bill’s art supplies were burned in the fire. I heard that after the space heater fires, removed all the space heaters from his home. It is a very sad story but it is a learning experience for everyone. Space heaters are very dangerous and should never be used around small children or pets. Unfortunately for my art teacher he lost a lot, but a lot more could have been lost if people had been sleeping or if no one had been home.
