    thank you so much! I am sorry for the loss of your home and so thankful your family and pets were able to evacuate safely. My dad is a retired professional firefighter and I was raised with fir safety. This is something I had no knowledge of and yes I am guilty of the exact same thing. I will spread the word and never have batteries of any type in my home with the terminals exposed again.
