Thank UL and others this isn't as common

[Bill-16 · 9/10 · 20 December 2015]

First thing younger viewers may think while watching is how easy and fast this fire starts. It is almost unbelievable to think of how common fires like this used to be. Even today flammable clothing and toys are pulled from the marketplace regularly.

Thankfully, we all learn and Underwriters Laboratory and even them darn lawyers that are so easy to sue everyone and every corporation have made things safer.

This episode is one of the more dramatic in the series. With a mother blaming a child for a horrible accident that should never have happened, but WHO is really at fault? Who is the really careless one? As in reality, this terrible accident was a string of almost unrelated failures and carelessness that led to a tragic event.

Whose Fault Is It

[dougdoepke · 24 October 2014]

Strong human-interest drama. Young mothers Bonnie and Ellen have left their two toddlers alone in the next room. Then one of the kids starts a fire that unfortunately burns each badly. Not only must the mothers now cope with the serious injuries, but Bonnie blames Ellen's little girl for starting the fire. Dr. Styner (Boone) is the attending physician in this entry and turns in his usual persuasive performance. And that's Linda Stirling, queen of many 1940's serials, as Ellen-- no acrobatics here, however. Can't help noticing expert camera set- ups that add significantly to the emotional subtext. Catch the stationary camera as Styner and Bonnie walk down the long hall, leaving us to contemplate what he's telling her, thereby heightening the emotional content. All in all, it's a typically affecting episode, and a good chance to learn about skin regeneration.
