Alcohol + Flame = Fun!


Someone missed the Fire Marshall Bill presentation at the beginning of the school year:
  • CINCINNATI — Officials in Ohio say a 13-year-old boy trying to kill a bed bug sparked an apartment building fire that displaced eight people and caused $300,000 in damage in Cincinnati.

    Officials say the fire was reported around 11 p.m. Tuesday and began when the teen lit a match after dousing a bed bug with alcohol. Six apartment units were damaged in the fire.
Well, at least he knew heat kills bedbugs.

Reminds me of the State Farm commercial with Rodgers and Matthews, trying to kill the fly. “Did you get it?”.

That had to be funny to watch...

>Splash!<
"Oh? Yo l'il ass still kickin' huh?"
>Scritch!<

"Ohhhh... Doo-Doo."
>WHOOOOMPH!<

So then?
Choices are?

Shit?
Go blind?
Scream?
Run Away?

Try and quickly figure a way to maybe
shove the now flaming mattress out the
window?

Out the door?

Or maybe just close the door and turn
the lights off in hope that it self
extinguishes?

Or is it all just a bridge too damned far?

>Bulge-eyed with panic and on the verge of
catastrophic "O-ring" failure<

Well, yeah...
Seeing blue flames RUN all over every which
way on your mattress kinda indicates a
crisis in the making.

Oh great... Hell to pay for real
cuz you done just started Aunt Granny's
prized window treatments on fire.

>O-ring failed<

Unintended/uncontrolled combustion
has that effect.

Saw stupid shit like this play out
a LOT back in the day.

Maybe one day we'll share the story
about the (new) OFI Investigator and the
well charred skeleton (porcine)
in the bathtub...

"Huh? It's not HUMAN? REALLY?"

>Grin!<

Tonight's simple pleasure is
a two-finger pour of Larceny Bourbon.

To all y'all out there.

Hail Mistuh IFIYGD.
How goeth the night?

One apartment, eight people?
Six units and only eight people doesn’t seem like an economical use of subsidized housing.
Or was the $300,000 in damages the total for the entire block (consumed by bedbug fire) in that underserved neighborhood?

Responsible parties will be dealt with.
Poor bedbug gets some of the blame but of course, most falls on First Responders in Democrat Cincinnati.
A city council program is being considered to educate the community about the dangers of waiting for police and fire to respond to bedbug incidents.

Reminds me of the savant in Seattle who set the house on fire using a spray paint can and lighter to kill a (one) spider.
Maybe the folks lawyer can blame him too.

That sounds like the very first Fire in a District during PO Frost's Tour. Everything is uncannily easy and quiet. Next thing ya know Dispatch is hitting The Sgts up to give up vehicles from your District to The Greens. Usually the work of a crappy space heater, but a big ass Fire is a big ass Fire.
Show is

That should only get an honorable mention from Fire Marshal Bill, a guy in the upstate town of Cohoes, described as an "amateur" blacksmith who was emulating something from the TV show Forged in Fire, burned down 3 square blocks of the town, something like two dozen buildings.
