Just wanted to share the information I recently aquired:
As I'm sure you are aware, the Wilson home recently suffered a fire that rendered the home heavily damaged. The cause of the fire was (initially) determined to have been the furnace. This furnace was the original one (it was the one installed when the house was built) and it was, according to sources, a G.E.. According to the sources, there was a gas build-up (caused by a damaged or worn out pipe). This gas build-up ignighted when the furnace started and this caused the house fire.
I felt it necessary to mention this as a means of pointing out the importance of having our furnaces regularly checked as a matter of safety. I have learned that at least two other homes in Willowbrook also have the original model G.E. furnaces, and these homeowners are currently having them either checked/serviced or replaced entirely.
Please do not take this update to mean your furnace will do the same thing. I just want to keep you apprised of the news about the fire, as well as passing along a matter of safety. The details of this fire are still coming in a little at a time, and we will pass along any updates as they come in.
