A couple lost their 25 year old
son, Arun Gopal Ratnam, in a fire at home on June 4th. Their son who had
graduated with MBA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison two weeks
earlier had come home for a while. He had lunch with his dad at home and
decided to go back to clean up his hostel room. His father told him to
wait, to meet his mother, before he went back for a few days. Arun
decided to take a nap while waiting for his mom to come back home from
work. Some time later their neighbors called 911 when they saw black
smoke coming out of the house. Unfortunately, 25 years old Arun died in
the three year old house. It took several days of investigation to find
out the cause of the fire. It was determined that the fire was caused by
the lap top resting on the bed. When the lap top was on the bed, the
cooling fan in the computer did not get the air to cool the computer and
that is what caused the fire. He did not even wake up to get out
of the bed because he died of breathing in carbon monoxide. The reason
I am writing this to all of you is that I have seen many of us and also
our sons and daughters using the lap top while in bed. Let us all
decide and make it a practice not to do that. The risk is real. Let us
make it a rule not to use the lap top on bed with blankets and pillows
around.
