FEMA paints stove knobs red
To prevent explosions, FEMA paints stove knobs red in Katrina victims’ trailers
Federal Emergency Management Agency has sent contractors to over 100-thousand government-issue trailers on the Gulf Coast to paint stove knobs a distinctive red.
FE-MA spokesman Aaron Walker says the change will help trailer residents tell the difference between the knobs that control the igniters and those that operate the burners on propane stoves.
I am positive that this doesnt come cheap
