While the exact cause of Tuesday's deadly blaze has not been determined, fire investigators say it likely sparked after an 18-year-old allegedly left a pot on the stove. Eldon LeDoux with the St. George Fire Department said he cannot speak directly to Tuesday's fire, but said grease fires are one of the most dangerous types of fires and also the most common. "One third of all house fires begin in the kitchen,” LeDoux said. An online safety video presented by the National Institute of Fire and Safety Training shows just how quickly grease fires can spread.

Design a TV Room That Doesn't Look Like One Using These Tricks

Just because you enjoy are obsessed with Game of Thrones doesn't mean you want a big hunka plasma taking up the majority of your apartment's living room. Nor should you have to consume all your favorite obscure documentaries (and the, ahem, occasional Pixar flick) through a laptop screen! But the fact of the matter is that most components of a highly- functioning TV room —from wires to cable boxes, flat screens to surround speakers—don't really meld with any design style (unless your preferred look is gadget-chic, in which case we probably can't help you).
