A good friend of our in Mequon lost their 25 years old son (Arun Gopal Ratnam) in a fire at home June 4th. This what happened. He graduated with MBA from University of Wisconsin-Madison two weeks earlier and came home. Had a lunch with his dad at home and decided to bach to clean up his room at school.
The dad told him to wait and see his mother before he goes back for a few days decided to take a nap while waiting for his mom to come home from work. Neighbours called 911 when they saw black smoke coming out of the house. Their 25 years old son Arun died in the three old house. It took several days of investigation to find out the cause of the fire. it was discovered that the fire was caused by lap top in the bed.
When the lap top is on the bed, cooling fans does not get air to cool the computer and that is what caused the fire. He did not even wake up to get out of the bed, he died of carbon monxide (CO).
The reason am writing this to all of you is that, I have seen all of "us" using our lap top in bed. Lat us all decide to make it a practce not to do that.
RISK IS REAL.
Lat us make it a rule not to use lap top in bed or put computer on bed with blankets and pillows around. Please, Broadcast this message and you may save others.
