CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Fire investigators have ruled a house fire in northeast Charlotte accidental.
The blaze was started by a space heater being too close to some items in the bedroom. It started about 1:30 a.m. Sunday on Breezewood Drive.
One person inside the home went to the hospital but is expected to be OK.

Space heaters usually have tipover switches so they cut off if they get tipped over. But what they don't have is a smoke cutoff. I think my SmokeShutoff(TM) Power Strip can save lots of lives by shutting off space heaters at the first sign of smoke if a blanket or something comes in contact with it.
