i have always had a fireplace and NEVER loaded hot embers into a bucket. for what reason?? you just leave them in fireplace and be sure screen or glass door is closed and let it die. i do not understand this.
That's right NEVER load up red hot embers in a bucket! There is no common sense that's what! The poor children the poor old couple it all could have been prevented! I also do not understand & I'm a bit angry about it what was this woman and man thinking?
What a dream to buy an old Victorian Home like that and have the money to restore it - and some stupid move and it's all gone and all those poor souls inside the bloody place! The playboy Contractor had to make sure it was structurally sound for them to live in the home, he should have had enough common sense to make sure smoke alarms were on every level of the old place and carbon monoxide detectors! I am very sorry for the loss of life here God have mercy on those left behind - I do not know how they will cope.
