Comment by Kathy Williams on January 2, 2010 at 5:47pm: Great video, I wish it were longer. I'm wondering if the "fake" electric fireplaces are dangerous? They are currently very popular - the ones that plug into a 110 outlet and have fake logs and fake flames but have a heater built-in to the unit and you can switch from High (about 1000W) to low (about 750W). Can anyone comment PLEASE? Thanks.

Comment by Daniel J Rocha on January 1, 2010 at 11:58pm: Good video. A very real danger indeed, I refuse to use one of these and many of my friends use them in ways the video says they should not be used.

Perhaps showing this video will quickly change their minds, thanks for posting.
