Only you can prevent forest fires

"Only you can prevent forest fires" was something smokey said many years ago.  Unfortunately not all fires are in the forest and not all fires can be extinguished using water.  Fires involving grease or oil need something to sufficate the fire.  That is a lesson we learned way back in grade school.  But some people, no matter how rich or how famous, can't seem to recall those elementary lessons.  Check out this story:

 A candle that the rock icon and his manager wife, Sharon, had left burning through the night exploded in its glass vase and sparked a small blaze in their living room. Quick-thinking Ozzy, whose arm had been bandaged up following hand surgery on Wednesday, tried to air the room as Sharon rushed to collect some water, but her efforts to extinguish the oily flames only caused the fire to spread, singeing chunks of the rocker's long locks in the process.
