Space heaters can be scary fire hazards if used incorrectly

The beach house that our mom just obtained burned down because of a portable heater; however I cannot understand what happened to our exhausting father… He had saved up for a while to be able to buy a particular beach house that he loved.

He obtained it for more of a getaway beach house than an all the time sort of home.

I was super ecstatic for him because he obtained it with cash. It was amazing that he was able to save up the cash to actually be able to do that. Sadly, he decided to use a portable heating system to heat his new beach house until he got a new gas furnace for it. I guess that portable heating systems have a terrible reputation for being fire hazards, but he didn’t expect anything to happen because the portable heating system that he used was almost brand new, and the electrical in the beach house was also brand new. It should not have caused a fire, but it did! My dad is so afraid of area heating systems now. I use a portable heating system in our kitchen, and he literally was in tears this day telling me not to ever use our area heating system again. I totally understand where he is coming from, but our portable heating system is the only thing heating our kitchen. I do have heating and air conditioning ducts in the kitchen, but for some reason, they don’t work. I have to have a portable heating system in there, or there will be no heat. I unquestionably hope that I can find a safer way to heat our kitchen soon, but I have not found one so far. I like our portable heater, so I am in sort of a crisis.
