- Abstract
- Careless use of a portable kerosene heater, lack of early detection, stored combustible liquids and other combustible materials combined to snuff out the lives of an entire family--in a fire that might have been prevented. The NFPA investigated this fire in order to document and analyze significant factors that resulted in the loss of life.
