*** LAPTOP USERS: BE AWARE! ***



A couple lost their 25 year old son in a fire at home on June 4th. The son who had graduated with an MBA from a top US University , two weeks earlier , had come home for a while. He had lunch with his dad at home and decided to go back to bed.His father told him to wait, to meet his mother. He decided to take a nap while waiting for his mom to come back home from work. Some time later their neighbors called 911 when they saw black smoke coming out of the house.

Unfortunately, the 25 years old died in the three year old house. It took several days of investigation to find out the cause of the fire.
It was determined that the fire was caused by the laptop resting on the bed. When the laptop was on the bed cooling fan did not get the air to cool the computer and that is what caused the fire. He did not even wake up to get out of the bed because he died of breathing in carbon monoxide emitted out of burnt laptop.

The reason I am writing this is to warn all of you because I have seen many of us: brothers, sisters ,sons & daughters, friends & family members  using  laptop while in bed. Let us all decide and make it a practice not to do that. The risk is real. Let us make it a rule not to use the laptop on bed with blankets and pillows around. Please educate as many people as you can.
