If your house is filled with DELICIOUS CHEESE or CHEAP BUT DECENT-LOOKING IKEA FURNITURE . . . you could be BEGGING for a horrible fire.  Check this out . . .

 

 

--A story out of Narvik, in northern Norway, may open your eyes about CHEESE DANGER.  Last week, a truck containing CHEESE caught on fire in a tunnel.  And it took SIX DAYS for the fire department to put it out.

 

 

--The cheese involved was a type of brown cheese called brunost that contains some sugar.  And that high fat, high sugar mix makes it REALLY flammable.  Who knew?

 

 

--Secondly, house fires today burn QUICKER and HOTTER than ever . . . and our CHEAP FURNITURE might be the cause.  Back when people had furniture that was made of real wood, cotton, and linen, it burnt slower.

 

 

--But according to a new study, our furniture today is often made of particle board and synthetic materials, and burn up to TEN TIMES FASTER.
