Give you self credit. Good switch to cars. Thank you for listening
to the John Ed Heidi Show on a Monday. Super excited to have Brent
Baker from Clients First Group dot Com joining us in the studio right now,
also with Keller Williams Realty, And we started this list last week. Brent,
We've got home fire hazards to avoid, and we made it about halfway
through the list. We had number one products recalled because of a fire hazard,
two loose outlets, three excess sawdust, four pantry staples, five nail
polish removers, six dangerous combinations of bathroom chemicals. And if you want to
hear more details on any of those, the podcast from last week has all
of that. But we pick up here on number seven nine volt batteries,
which is weird because that's what you put on a smoke detector. But nine
volt batteries can also cause a fire at your house. You know, they
have a positive and a negative terminal on them, and they're right next to
each other. Correct, And if you throw them in a garbage can and
it touches against something metal, it can catch that whole garbage can on fire.
Correct, especially if you had an old metal can and you've paper or
other combustible materials in there, or you know, just even if you haven't
been a junk drawer yeah, you know, they have to stay in their
package so they don't contact other metal products. Another thing on her vintage appliances,
And I know there are some people who love the way those look.
They look really cool, so then they'll you know, refurbish them. But
sometimes with the components on the inside, that might not be a great idea.
Maybe just go for a new one that looks old well. And there
are people who are into replacing the old electrical components within those, you know,
the old cords, the old wiring within them. There are companies that
actually offer to do that. Nice. Another thing on the list, I
see materials place near a fireplace, because I suppose at a certain point just
about anything could be dangerous if you get it close enough to a fire.
Well, I would certainly think so. And so before you throw that rug
down there and do your nude photo shoot, be careful, Yeah, yeah,
absolutely, And don't post those You never know where those things are going.
Is here bird nests on outdoor lights. I suppose it could be on
indoor lights too if you leave the windows open. But a bird nest can
absolutely become a fire hazard in a big old hurricanon, Well it can,
and it'd probably be more due to you know, say an incorrect installation of
a light or light is aged. But some of those things, you know
over time that nest has been there so long, and if some of that
stuff eventually write conditions, yeah, there's always a possibility. This is one
that I guess I hadn't thought of, but it makes so much sense when
I read this glass or crystal decore, and you wouldn't instantly think that that
could be a fire hazard. But I suppose if the sun is shining through
it, it could be like a magnifying glass type effect. And yeah,
like we all tried as kids, Oh yeah, you know, try to
start a fire with a magnifying I remember burning a hole in my friend's shoe
and I was like, I didn't think it was gonna work, and then
we burned it and there were his new shoes. He was his mom mad.
So yeah, I hadn't really thought about that that some decor could actually
be a fire hazard. And it may not be the rest of the year,
but the sun is a little lower at this time of year, so
window coverings are probably not a bad idea in some of these products. Clothes
dryer is number twelve on the list, and that is one where I've heard
some issues with the dryer vents being full or plugged, or not pulling the
lint trap out and cleaning that all well correct. In fact, that happened
to a friend of mine had called me to discuss some real estate transactions and
suddenly stopped mid conversation, said, I smell smoke, and knowing the layout
of the house, and she I asked where she was standing, and she
was by her laundry. I said, open your laundry room door, and
sure enough that's where it was her And it wasn't even a very old house,
but the vent tube was filling up with lint. Yeah, that can
happen very quickly. Well, and for her, she says, I usually
turn the drawer around just before I go out the door. Yeah, imagine
that if you'd been gone, So, if we had not been on the
phone, the potential was there could have been a house fire. Wow.
Another thing on the list number thirteen linseed oil. So if you have a
squeaky lindseed and you need to oil it, now, what do you do
with linseed oil? It's a polish Maybe. Linseed oil was used for a
variety of things. Many years ago. I can remember as a kid,
you know, my dad and grandfather using it on different things and rubbing things
down to clean it and whatnot. And like a lot of things, it's
got just a little volatility to it. Yeah, and that can cause an
issue. And then we end at number fourteen kend of right where we started
the conversation actually with smoke detectors. So smoke detectors can cause a problem too,
Yeah, if they get too old, and sometimes they just function poorly.
But it's not very often. I don't know that I can ever recall
a time when I heard that the smoke detector was at cause. But I
will tell you a little story. One of my agent friends had sold the
house to somebody and they were refinishing all the woodwork. Yeah, and so
in the process of standing and staining through the hung the rags over the edge
of the garbage can to dry out. Well, all of those fumes collected
in the bottom of that garbage can, and then a fire did erupt from
that and did some pretty serious damage to the kitchen area. So even disposing
of those rags, you have to make sure they're thoroughly dry or they can
you know, combust on their own in the garbage can, but even laying
them over the edge the fumes still collected in the garbage can. Wow.
I never even would have thought of that. So these were some hazard fire
hazards you could find around the home. And if you miss any of these,
or if you're just kind of catching a tail end of this, we
share this as a podcast as well. If you go to Sunny Radio dot
com you'll see that towards the bottom of the page. And Brent, if

Day dot Com. That's weird Gift of the Day dot Com. Time out
for This Day in Sioux Falls History, brought to you by the Sioux Falls
Fun Page, West Sioux Studios and Sunny ninety three point three. He was
on this day, November thirteenth, eighteen sixty two. A case of mistaken
identity or downright poor judgment led to a terrible tragedy of Mancana Naota e En.
In August of eighteen sixty two, Judge Amadan and his son were killed
by Native Americans during the Dakota Uprising. In response to their deaths, the
town of Sioux Falls was ordered to be evacuated. All residents were to relocate
to Yankton, where they could be protected. Nearly three months later, on
this day in history, some of the Sioux Falls earliest residents accompanied a small
detachment of cavalry soldiers back to Sue Falls. They were here to assess the
condition of the town. Upon arriving in Soux Falls, the group found the
city in ruins, with many of the buildings and crops burned. Mancana naota
En translated as among the little trees happened to be camping near the city ruins
on that fateful day. He had absolutely nothing to do with the death of
the Amadans nor the ransack of the town. He just happened to be in
the wrong place at the wrong time. The soldier spotted his camp and began
to chase after a few young men inside. All escaped except for man Canna
na ota En. The soldier who killed him declared that he thought the young
man was Ja Kien Dutta, the nephew of Chief ink Paduta. We now
know that he was mistaken, and the young man he killed was as much
of a victim of circumstance beyond his control as the maidens. A historical marker
tells the entire story and can be found near Cova Lake and Terrace Park in
Sioux Falls. This Day in Sue Falls History has been brought to you by
the Sux Falls Fun Page, West Sue Studios and Sonny ninety three point three.
