History Repeats Itself in Fire Accidents
A resident of Madison S. D., who used a lighted match to see if the radiator had a sufficient amount of water, was painfully burnt about the hands and face when he removed the radiator cap. The radiator contained alcohol to prevent the water from freezing, and when the alcohol fumes came in contact with the naked flame of the match, an explosion occurred.
An electric iron which was placed in the bed to warm the occupant’s feet resulted in setting fire to the bed clothes. It is now said that the victim has "cold feet” whenever the plan if a bed warmer is mentioned. History as far as these odd fire causes will repeat itself—there wall always be some one who will unthinkingly repeat the selfsame mistake.
