I agree!

It puts a new perspective on some things that we may have thought were large issues, but which pale into insignificance by comparison!

It must be shattering, for the family, friends & all concerned, my thoughts are with them!

My mobile phone re-charger caught on fire, luckily I was home and it was through the day. I never leave it on overnight now. Someone also said the standby light on the tv etc can catch a little bit of dust and catch on fire. I always get up and turn the switch off.

You would think a chef would be big on smoke alarms tho'.

If it was an explosion, they probably wouldn't have helped. The fire that took all those children down at Kingston earlier in the year was caused by LPG bottles too, wasn't it? There should be some kind of law in place that they're stored away from the house to prevent this kind of awful tragedy.

Wow! Annie there is certainly a lot of information on the web about exploding LPG cylinders. Some say it's impossible for them to explode under normal conditions, and others say they explode with extreme heat. If I had them under my house I would move them just in case.

It basically is impossible for an undamaged LPG tank to explode..

As for moving them from under your house.....it's most likely that they were running the gas cooker and/or water heater, so the position is decided by the closest point to the appliances...so it's not that easy to relocated them...

The news reports say the neighbours were alerted by an explosion - not that it was an explosion that started the fire.

Cods a bit early to be debating this tragedy I would think Sad

The neighbors said it was an explosion So maybe wait for the fire officers report

sorry fred it wasnt meant as a debate more a warning?..

it occured to me that some do leave the lights on for hours.. and I have heard of them catching on fire in the past it was just meant as a warning..

sorry if I have offended anyone that wasnt my intention of starting a debate..

my son in law is in forensics. and we talk about his job often..so I know it will all be investigated.

it doesnt stop me feeling terribly sad though.

What has that got to do with anything, it still wouldn't bring dead people back to life.
