Bernadette Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I just saw a Sharon Osborne interview on GMA where she was telling Lara Spencer that Howard Stern sent her and Ozzie an oil candle for Christmas. They lit it up in their bedroom, had a romantic evening by candlelight(no fragrance, mind you) and went to bed. In the wee small hours they heard a noise, woke up, and see the glass had broken and oil with the flames were all over the floor and table. Obviously, they had left it burning... Ozzie opened the french doors to the outside(wrong) and Sharon ran into the bathroom and got water, which she threw on the flames(wrong again). Well, the flames exploded into a huge fire! Ozzie had just had surgery and had a cast on his arm, so he started beating the flames with his cast, and his cast caught fire! Sharon said his hair is now above his ears because he burned that much off! Her advice was to never leave ANY candle burn that long. Just goes to show that even the rich and famous can be crazy when it comes to candle safety.:tiptoe: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybersix Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Ozzy is just crazy. Not only when it comes to candles!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OldGlory Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 That's the biggest variable - how people treat the candle. Even providing written instructions is sometimes not enough. I mean, how much instruction does it take to light a match, touch it to the wick, and viola! you have a lit candle. People don't understand there's more to it.

Kitn Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Insurance is right. i don't understand why people do not understand a burning candle is a fire hazard, period.. Watch it, extinguish it if you are going to bed or out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annie123 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Ozzy did too much drugs when he was younger...at least he has an excuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puma52 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Well, if Ozzy had not fried his brain on drugs..... you can't cure stupid....anyone with ANY sense would know to blow a candle out before going to bed!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithfulScenter Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Forgive me for going there, and do not by any means think I am taking up for Ozzy and Sharon, but maybe they didn't "mean" to leave it burning! Maybe they were just exhausted after there "romantic evening" and nodded off!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
