When I was a little kid, I remember my parents had a space heater in the middle of the living room.
The space heater always made the room very warm and cozy. During the winter months, the space heater ran all of the time. It’s used kerosene and my parents purchased it from a gas station close to our home. Lots of people back then had kerosene heaters in their home. My friends and I were hanging out at the house one night. We were hanging out in the living room watching television. We decided to play a game of Twister. My foot got tangled with another and I fell backwards into the space heater. It tipped over onto the ground and the carpet immediately caught on fire. I yelled to my parents. They were sitting in the dining room playing a board game. My mom came rushing into the living room. My dad threw a towel over the fire and started stomping on the hot, molten, carpet. After that, my parents never put the space heater back in the living room. I honestly think the heater was sitting in the trash the next day. I don’t ever remember seeing another space heater in the living room. In fact, a couple of years later my parents finally opted for Central Electric Heating. It’s been 25 years since that accident occurred and my parents still refused to put a space heater in the house. They clearly have some PTSD issues from the time the carpet was burnt all those years ago.
