Woodland hills apartments on fire again. Heard the sirens and lo

Txbutterfly :
We just passed one of the trucks leaving the apartments

That has always been a fear living in apartments. That and the drama lol.
Seriously though, when I was selling my home and garden stuff, I refused to sell candles. They are constantly a cause of fire because of carelessness.
I forget the actual statistics but my manager was shocked. I do not burn them in my home.

Trucks are gone, must not have been much. Sure had a lot of trucks dispatched

Txbutterfly :
Better too many than not enough. When I was in school I always had a first floor apartment.

Mustang on the trail apartments 😆?? This place should have been shut down years ago. Top 3 worst apts in kw.

Txbutterfly :
Oh no. I hope all involved are well.

Just a little meth lab...up in smoke.

Txbutterfly :
Again? Has there been another one recently?

beadweaver : I have a "stash" of the Glade oil scented tea lights (with the glass holders that do NOT get hot on the bottoms)
Unfortunately they were discontinued years ago…. BUT they are great for power outages! ***They "go out" automatically after approx 2-3 hours. So no reminder needed. I usually put one in the bathroom in front of the mirror to maximize the light effect. (Ditto for bedroom dresser with mirror)
- I was sad they got discontinued. ☹️

Txbutterfly :
they may have been there on a medical, with the ambulance already there, or on the way. some calls, both go to the scene, depending on the nature of the call.

I think our firemen are heroes

I loved these, and still have one package of them, too! one little pod candle smelled So good! Do you have one of the little glass dishes, that came with the 'kit' they sold, with the dish and 3 candles? The safest way is using a plug in wax melter; I buy and mix scents; good prices on the melts at WalMart and Kroger, under $3.

LittleTexas : I have 4 of the plain round glass holders and 2 of the ones shaped like an hourglass. When they were being discontinued, I stocked up on them!! I even bought tons of boxes off eBay. (Most with 4 in a box).
*I would estimate that I have approx 200+ refill candles! (Most in Vanilla, Angel Whispers, Apple Cinnamon & Polka Dot Petals)
When they were first discontinued, many people on eBay were selling 12 to 18 boxes as a set…. And I bought many of those. (Crazy I know!)
-
I like these tiny candles more than the melts because they are quick to clean & put out light. (I use them mostly for power outages & the holidays).
- Pic shows "hourglass" shape holder.

lizzycav :
great buys! we take those to the beach, and since we all sit outside on one, long patio that faces the beach ( each condo has its' space, and it is respected, but soon, after the first few hours, we are sharing coffee and breakfast feast, and then on to happy hours, together, at night. those little candles are good. As you said, they only burn so long, and smell good. Wish they'd bring them back!

LittleTexas :
Sounds so nice!!
