The investigator had one of those "Aha" moments. He said that was

cause of the fire.

Uh, did you stop to consider that an 'investigator' could not possibly
reach the conclusion that a fires was started by the freshener when
all he knew was that one was used in the bathroom?


He said he has seen more house fires started
with
the plug-in type room fresheners than anything else.

Considering the above, it woudl be no surprise if he concluded
that.


He said
the
plastic they are made from is THIN plastic.

Which would provide less thermal insulation, and therfor
run cooler than THICK 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, the two
prongs
left from the plug-in were still in there.

Note the first sentence says there would be no physical evidence,
the second says he found physical evidence.

PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO ALL THE PEOPLE IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK.
