My IL had a huge fire in their house today. Luckily no one was home so no one was hurt. It started in their linen closet. It has a light that turns on & off automatically when you open & close the door. Well, apparently my MIL was in a rush this morning & didn't realize that the door wasn't properly shut & the heat of the light ignited the linen closet. This must have been going on for a while because the houses in their neighborhood are far apart, their house is reeally far from the street, there's no sidewalk & one of the neighbors noticed the smoke. There was a lot of damage to one entire side of the house & they can't stay there
This is so scary because I always leave the light in my master closet on, never even thinking this could ever happen. So turn those lights off!
