Faulty WiFi router causes fire in house
A woman from Florida recently went through a harrowing experience when her home was engulfed in flames, all because of a faulty WiFi router. Keona Huntley, the homeowner, shared her story on TikTok, showing the devastating aftermath of the fire that gutted her house.

According to Huntley, the trouble started when she noticed that her WiFi connection was constantly dropping. She contacted the company responsible for the router, Quantum Fiber Wi-Fi, and a technician was sent to her home multiple times to address the issue. However, even after the router was replaced a few months before the fire, the connection problems persisted.

On the day of the incident, Huntley was at home when she suddenly smelled smoke. She quickly realized that the fire was coming from her bedroom, where the Internet box was located. In a matter of minutes, the flames had spread and destroyed her entire home. In a video on TikTok, Huntley showed the charred remains of her bedroom, with pieces of the mattress and ceiling insulation scattered around.

Heartbroken and devastated, Huntley shared her story on social media, hoping to raise awareness and prevent others from going through a similar tragedy. She also expressed her frustration at not having renters insurance, which would have helped her recover some of her lost personal items.

Despite the devastation, Huntley has found comfort in the kindness of strangers. A GoFundMe page was set up to help her and her family get back on their feet, and it has already raised over $4,400. Huntley is grateful for the support and describes it as a glimmer of hope in the midst of this tragedy.

This incident serves as a reminder of the potential dangers of faulty electronic devices. It also comes just a few months after a similar incident in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where a lithium-ion battery pack caught fire and caused significant damage to a home. In both cases, the cause of the fire is still being investigated, leaving the homeowners to pick up the pieces and start over.

For Keona Huntley and her family, the road to recovery will not be an easy one. But with the support of their community, they are determined to rebuild their home and their lives. As for the faulty WiFi router, Huntley hopes that her story will prevent others from experiencing the same devastation, and she urges everyone to take necessary precautions when it comes to electronic devices in their homes.
