The fire department in this area said there has been an increase in home fires caused by leaving things cooking on the stove.  Then there are leaving candles lit when they leave home; and then grilling out by the house wall and/or disposing of charcoal unsafely.  We change the batteries in the spring daylight saving time and then in the fall.  Sorry to hear of this sad event.  It makes all of us be more alert and safe.

Joliette I am so sorry to hear that. My smoke detector in the goes off eveytime I am cooking and drop something on the burner. But I haven't checked the bedrooms to  make sure they are working. Thank you for the important reminder. I'll be thinking of you and your family. 

Joliette:

I am so sorry to hear this.  My condolences to you.

Such horrible news. Sorry for your loss....

Really sorry to hear about your loss.

Joliette:  I am so sorry for your loss.  Please everyone be proactive about replacing batteries in your detectors.  The local FD here recommends twice a year.  Our home uses the first day of spring and the first day of fall as the date set to replace the batteries.  Buy the batteries in advance and have them available.  Others use New Years Day  and 4th of July as dates.  Whatever it takes make it a priority.

Thank you guys ((hugz)).
