Did you all here the story about the house in CT
where 3 children and two grandparents died during
Xmas? * It was a large $2mil house owned by an
advertising exec and it was undergoing renovation.

Source of the fire is believed to be hot ashes from
a fireplace that were placed in a bag and taken to
either the mud room or the adjacent outsite trash
storage area. *That was done before they went to
bed around 3AM. * Fire started on the back side of the
house.

Investigators believe the central wired smoke alarm
system was not working. *They aren't sure if there
were any battery powered ones.

Left me wondering. *Why would anyone take ashes
out of a fireplace in the middle of the night when the
fire has just gone out? *I've always just left them
there until at least a day or two later. *Seems easy
and natural to do it that way, no?

Just like Stormin in his other thread you have assumed
facts not in evidence at this point in time:

"It was unclear whether working smoke detectors had been installed
in the house, which was under renovation, officials said."

Whether or not the system was working is not likely to
ever be determined as the severity of the damage done to the
home would have cooked off all the parts and pieces of
smoke detectors and the home was so badly gutted the
city tore it down...

None of the articles referenced in this thread nor Stormin's
other thread on the same topic support any conclusion
about the smoke detectors being faulty...

It was my understanding that the hardwiring was not yet completed.
