"Dell Laptop Burned Down My House"

I arrived my desk to find that the phone was ringing – I needed to come home immediately was the message. When I arrived home the entire street was blocked with fire and rescue crews. My 130 year old former farm house was engulfed in flames, with thick dark smoke pouring out of the windows and roof. Over 60 firefighters from 4 departments fought the blaze and battled equipment failures due to the near zero degree weather.

Ouch, it’s hard to not feel sorry for this guy. The biggest “burn” would be the fact that all of your keepsakes and family photos are gone forever. That aside, it’s unknown whether or not his specific laptop ever had the battery replaced during the recall. Either way, this can happen to anyone! Protect your goods and make sure you are not using one of the declared faulty laptop batteries.
