Woman, son perish in Aichi house fire

Sad. RIP

But many wooden houses in that area are just waiting to flare up in my opinion (I am a former fire building specialist)

It’s not the wooden house....You simply cannot trick scientific rules, for example that within a defined system, in this case society, existing differences are developing into the direction of balance, equal distribution, osmosis and such. If you are now more forced to stay at home, not going to restaurants, do only necessary shopping and other things outside , let’s say nowadays because of the corona pandemic, you are a longer time at home, cook there, use heaters, stoves, electrical appliances, and those also get more quickly overused, old and defect etc. A bunch of reasons everyday and everywhere, how something could catch fire, compared to normal times, when they are not at home, eat outside , don’t cook, don’t use flammable things and appliances. I think you got the point... it’s just no use. If you avoid the one risk, you surely are caught by the other.

May soul of the mother and son rest in peace. Let's watch out for fire hazards.
