Toddler “catches fire” in seconds in front of gas heater

After a toddler was set ablaze by a heater, Australian parents have been reminded to keep a close eye on their home heating systems.

The toddler had been standing in front of his family’s gas heater for less than a minute before his onesie caught fire.Parents have been urged to make sure their gas heaters are serviced every two years (stock image)The two-year-old had been standing in front of his family's gas heater for less than a minute when his onesie suddenly burst into flames

His mother stated that she was in the bathroom at the time, but fortunately her husband detected the odor of something burning.

The parent stated, “My son didn’t even realize he was on fire; my husband smelled it, saw the flame, and responded immediately.”

He was in its vicinity for less than thirty seconds before he caught fire!

The startled mother sent a photo of her son’s pajamas with a large hole burned through the back to the Instagram page of Tiny Hearts Education, a first aid organization for Australian parents.

Every two years, parents have been asked to have their gas heaters serviced.

Additionally, all flammable products must be kept at least one metre away, and parents must ensure that their children maintain this distance.

Additionally, Australians must remember to switch off their heaters before going to bed.

  2. To keep the heating and lights on for their dog in the winter, dog owners may be spending close to £300 annually. In his studies, energy efficiency expert Dr. David Glew has observed numerous instances of people leaving the central heating on in their vacant homes to keep their pets warm. He cautions that having the heating on for a dog might increase the annual gas bill in a big family house by £240. Dr. Glew estimates that leaving the lights on for a pet in a few rooms for six hours a day may cost £50 a year with contemporary spotlights or £12 a year with LED lightbulbs. While leaving a fan on would only cost £5, leaving the air conditioning on throughout the entire house may cost hundreds more per year. The majority of healthy pets have enough fur to keep them warm, according to veterinarians, so turning on the heat or air conditioning is typically unnecessary. This month at the Cheltenham Science Festival, Dr. Glew, director of energy efficiency and policy at Leeds Beckett University, brought up the subject in a discussion. There is no need to leave the heater on for pets, he said, but if owners feel they must, they might think about solely heating the room the dog enjoys or lowering the thermostat or radiator dial. According to Energy Saving Trust research from 2015, 43% of pet owners leave the heat on for their animals.To keep the heating and lights on for their dog in the winter, dog owners may be spending close to £300 annually.
