I got this mail from my brother, thought it would be good to share it around.

I'm sending this to all of my collegues because I think we all must put some attention to the root of the story.

I have a friend living at Jubilee post ,Nugeogoda , few blocks away from where I stay. He has a Hardware shop by the side of Stanlythilakratne Mawatha,and his house is behind the shop , a 2 story well built modern house.

Last week the whole house was burn down to ash. It was a Sunday and around 2.00 in the afternoon he has gone to the service station his mother was at home and the upstairs master bedroom there has been a smoke coming out of the air conditioner. mother has gone upstairs and opened the bedroom door to see the whole room  in massive fire.

It has got worse and by the time the fire brigade came the whole house was burnt.Nothing left. Upto now his mother is suffering from shock. They have lost jewelry, furniture and all clothes nothing left for them to wear even. since they are business people there had been lots of money in side the house. any way, now they have to start everything from beginning.

The fire brigade Inspectors have told them the reason for the fire is the mobile phone charger, His father has kept the phone on the charger the earlier night and had not unplugged . It had got heated up and started the fire (on the bed side cupboard)

In a matter of minutes they lost  every things they had. But unfortunately mostly every one of us do that in our house/office . we do not pay much attention to the phone charger we use, it is mostly plugged for our convenience ,The heated up charger has the chance of  starting a fire depending on the surface we keep it .This is what has happened  at my friend's place . The fire chief has told them that this has become a common problem and that they have discovered many incidents like this.

I thought of sending this message to you because I remember few weeks back we received a similar e mail but foreign origin. This is not a false alarm if any one wants to see this or talk to them, This is at Jubilee post juction, Nugegoda.

I hope this message will mean something to every one of us.

Good day to you,

from
