A Blenheim family is warning of the risks of ethanol burning patio heaters. Murray and Noreen McLauchlin lost their daughter Michelle this past June.

She succumbed to her injuries she sustained in an ethanol fire pot she was refueling exploded into a fire ball, covering 95 percent of her body in burns.

McLauchlin isn’t the first person to die this way in Ontario, a Peterborough dentist died in 2016.

The family wants to see a ban put in place, similar to what has been done in Australia.
