"Wood stove ashes start blaze"

http://bangordailynews.com/detail/98731.html


Long-term readers of this column will remember my admonitions on the subject.  Although, it's kinda harsh to blame the ashes and embers for "operator failure."  This represents one of those "side effects" of our trashed economy -- can't afford oil heat, use wood stove without wood stove experience. 

I wouldn't be surprised if the State Fire Marshal crew has a tote-board with odds, back in the office, with side-bets on how many of which kind of fire they investigate this year.  And on the number of carbon-monoxide deaths, whenever we have a power failure and people run generators inside the house.  Some "accidents" follow statistics  . . .
