Alot of fires start because of space heaters. There should be more education given to the public on how and where to operate them in the home. I had one to start sparking on its own and if I would have been in another room it could have started a fire of its own. It is still sad to hear of the man killed by the fire but good to hear the woman survived with only cuts and second-degree burns. Still unfortunate and sad anyway you look at it.
