Do we actually know that the rate of structural fires is on the rise or is this anecdotal?
Definitely agree that better fire safety precautions should be in place, especially around candles.
DB Electronic had candles?
The fire today on ridge was from candles?
what made me start this thread is the fact that the house that burned down on Shabbos Pesach in Monsey was noticed when only the table was engulfed in flames, but they didn't have the tools to put it out, now imagine if they would.
would a fire extingusher help? I don't know, but time plays a role
