rowing down my target audience of my product. 6. Gootman, E, 2000, November 23, “Student killed in fire started by candles.” The New York Times, https://www. nytimes.com/2000/11/23/nyregion/student-killed-in-fire-started-by-candles.ht. In this article, Gootman from New York Times reports on a 25 year old student who was killed by burning candles in her New York apartment. The woman, Helen Carnegie, was the 13th person to die that year from a fire started by candles. This is a growing issue as the years go on. Young students have decorative candles near their bed, fall asleep, and their sheets get engulfed in flames causing injuries and many fatalities. I have learned from this article that young college students who are overworked look to candles to relax and often end up in life threatening circumstances. They are often alone in their room when this happens. This information will help me in narrowing down my target audience of my product. 7. Taylor, D, 2020, November 2, “A Chilton County man dies after candles he was using for light set the house on fire.” CBS 42, https://www.cbs42.com/news/chilton-county-man-dies-after-candles-he-was-using-for-lig ht-set-house-onfire/. Taylor reports on the death of a 66 year old man who died in a house fire started by a candle. The fire was on Halloween night, and he was using the candle to light the home in absence of electricity. Due to the candle being unattended, it lit his house on fire and unfortunately took him with it. I learned that house fires often occur when there is no electricity, and the person is home alone and the candle is unattended for long periods of time. This information will be considered when I come up with a solution to the problem, and who in particular will benefit from it. 77
