A space heater’s to blame for starting a fire that’s left a Suffolk family without a home.
Fire started around 4:00 a.m. Saturday on Holland Road near Kenyon Roads.
Three people got out, but an 80-year-old man had to be rescued.
Suffolk fire investigators said the space heater was set too close to curtains and they caught on fire.

UL tests space heaters to make sure they prevent fabric from coming in contact with the heater elements. The fires still happen. Might not, if they had used my power strip.
