Guest guest Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Bruce, That's what I was told by the Durham Fire Dept also when we moved in. One of our neighbors is with the Durham FD and he just told me to exercise normal caution. Again, O2 does not cause an explosion like gas. O2 would fuel an existing fire but it can't cause one by itself. Obviously having O2 in the house at all is a hazard but I gotta have it!

I know the danger with a gas cooktop. But the danger is theoxygen and a flame. I don't understand how the flame from a hot waterheater or gas heat is going to get in contact with the oxygen. I havenot read a warning against gas heat or hot water before. Now, i know youshouldn't be the one to go relight a pilot or otherwise work on theunit. But generally what I have read is a safe distance of 5-6 feet fromany flame or source of sparks.> > >>> > >> From: Mango man mangomaninparadise@ ...> > >> Subject: Re: Social Security disability> > >> To: Breathe-Support@ yahoogroups. com> > >> Date: Friday, March 6, 2009, 7:31 PM> > >>> > >> I understand the process to receive the _disability_ status> > >> can be a lengthy one.
