News India Live, Digital Desk: On winter nights, people often light a bonfire or heater in their room and sleep to save themselves from the cold, but in Chapra, this habit took away four lives from a happy family. This very tragic incident happened in a village in the district, where 4 people of a family died due to sleeping with a bonfire in the room, while 3 others are hanging between life and death and their condition remains critical. After this accident, there is mourning in the entire area.
How did this heartbreaking accident happen?
According to the information, to escape the cold, the family had lit a bonfire inside the room at night and slept after closing the doors and windows. When the door of the room did not open till late in the morning, the neighbors broke the door on suspicion. Seeing the scene inside, everyone’s soul trembled. Four members of the family were found dead in the same room, while three others were in an unconscious state. He was immediately taken to the hospital, where seeing his serious condition, doctors admitted him.
Why can bonfires and heaters be deadly?
This incident is a serious warning. In fact, lighting a bonfire or running a gas heater in a closed room produces a very dangerous and poisonous gas called ‘Carbon Monoxide’. This gas is colorless and odorless, so the sleeping person does not even know about it. There is a lack of oxygen in the room and this poisonous gas mixes with the blood and gradually kills the person. To prevent such incidents, doctors always recommend using a heater or bonfire in a well-ventilated area and never sleep in a closed room with such things lit at night.
This incident has shocked the entire region and has once again made people understand the need to be alert about the safety of themselves and their families in winter.
