Could the fire departments or other local government entities offer space heater inspections? Folks could take their space heaters to have them safety checked, and the owners could be given a primer on safe usage of these heaters.
Our house caught fire when I was around 9-10 years old, it’s a vision I will never forget. My heart goes out to this family, I am praying for all of them.
My heart and prayers go out to them. I had a house fire in 2001, and the emotional trauma I went through was like nothing I’ve ever been through in my life. Praying for all that is involved.
