Actually, you can now get solar-powered tiki torches. They even flicker. I love mine.

Sorry to hear about this preventable tragedy.

Very sad indeed, Christine.
Thanks for reminding us that none of us are invinceable.

Thanks for the reminder Christine, albeit a sad one.

Sad to hear.

Ours are just stuck in the ground, and it doesn't take much to knock them over. I try to keep them far from the house in case they ever fall when lit.

Thanks for the reminder, Christine.

Sorry for the family's tragedy.

Thanks for the reminder, Christine.

My parents have them at their vacation house. Scared the hell out of me. I woke up around 3am and walked into the kitchen to get a drink of water. I see this flickering out side and thought someone had lit them while we were sleeping. I opened the door and then realized they were solar powered.
