SAFETY REMINDER 12V Car Charger Incident
This is a note from a local chemical plant employee that had a bad experience
with results that could have been tragic.
Hi All,
As some of you may know, we had a pretty scary incident recently. Attached
are pictures of what remains of our 2007 Suburban. We are all okay but I
wanted to warn everyone not to make the same mistake I did.
This fire resulted from leaving an I phone charger/docking station plugged into
the car outlet. It overheated and started a fire, while parked in our garage.
PLEASE unplug anything you have in your car outlets once you turn off your
car!
We were VERY fortunate that we accidentally found the fire, at 11pm, before
going to bed and before it spread to the house. None of our garage heat
detectors or house fire alarms went off.
