*Avanti* Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 (edited) A close friend of mine had her house burn out on Sunday night and her little dog, Kelly, died in the fire . The suspected cause of the fire is the new LCD tv which she had purchased on Friday. My friend was lucky to escape. She was asleep on the couch and was awoken by the heat. I met with her and other friends last night, she is physically moslty ok but of course, emotionally devastated. It was a horror story, she described going to get Kelly and the beams started to fall in from the ceiling. She looked across the room through the smoke and in tears had to say “Kelly, I’m sorry but I am going to have to leave you there”. With that, without even her hand-bag she had to walk out the front door and close the door. Kelly was 16 and somewhat blind and deaf, I only hope she went to sleep without any pain. The Fire Brigade chaps were very kind, they found her remains and said to my friend "We don't think you should see this" and they buried her in the garden. RIP Kelly.

poodlefan Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I hope every person who reads this thread and who doesn't have a smoke detector fitted goes out and buys one in memory of Kelly. They save lives - both human and canine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallomph Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 A close friend of mine had her house burn out on Sunday night and her little dog, Kelly, died in the fire . The suspected cause of the fire is the new LCD tv which she had purchased on Friday. My friend was lucky to escape. She was asleep on the couch and was awoken by the heat. RIP Kelly. What an awful nightmare of a thing to happen. I have a friend who is a volunteer fireman. He says there have been a lot of fires caused by these LCD tvs, and another common cause is chargers - battery chargers, phone, camera chargers. His advice is - never leave appliances on standby - unplug at the wall. Don't leave chargers plugged in either when you're asleep or not home.
