Mass. man melting snow with blowtorch ignites home

NEW BEDFORD, Mass. -Fire officials in New Bedford, Mass., say a man using a blowtorch to melt ice on his back porch ended up setting his house on fire, causing up to $30,000 in damage.

Fire Capt. Scott Kruger tells The Standard-Times of New Bedford that no on was injured during Monday's incident at the three-story home.

Kruger says the man was using a torch hooked up to a 20-pound propane cylinder. He got too close to the building's wood frame and ignited the vinyl siding. The fire quickly spread into the building's second- and third-floor apartments.

It took 25 firefighters to subdue the blaze that damaged bedrooms in the upstairs units, and caused damage to the structure and wiring.

The homeowner will not be charged.

haha what a fucking idiot. He should be charged though. What if he had had a wife and kids? he would've put their lives in danger with his stupidity.

you can't  be charged for stupidity. It was an accident and wasn't arsony. His insurance will probably go through the roof, and he won't be living at home for a while, so I think that is enough for him to learn his lesson.

Funny. Too stupid. I doubt his insurance is going to cover that, act of God yes, act of pure stupidity, probably not. Sucks to be him.

You really think the insurance is going to cover this? I doubt it.

most insurances do cover you being a complete idiot, so long as it wasn't intentional. Since no charges were made, he should be able to get the insurance to cover it with a minimal amount of trouble.

 I made a typo.

Wow. In Montreal we can't get away with blowtorches though we need a couple of flamethrowers. Our city's snow removal budget for this year was all spent last year.
