“All things return dissolved into their elements.”
William Shakespeare (1564-1616, bio link)
Please use smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms in your home; make sure the audible sound works and the unit has power. Make sure that the carbon monoxide alarm protects all who enter the building. A low level CO monitor might be the best protection against an accidental, slow burning, smoldering fire.
