Now I have this scary thoughts about our home on fire whenever we're not at home. It is scary!

The incident 3 days ago left me thinking. The circuit breaker was turned off automatically when it sensed danger. But the water heater worked itself to flame. What if we were already asleep? The darkness won't wake us because it'd be already dark since we'd turned off all the lights before sleeping. It would take me (a light sleeper) a while to even realise that the air-conditioner or the fan is turned off. By the time I feel warm, the bathroom could be on fire. Or worse, if this happens in December when we plan to go away for a short holiday!

This scares me even when I'm sleeping. I'm so comfortable with my home now that thoughts about losing it in a flash scare the hell out of me. Urgh!

Fire is our biggest enemy, no?
