View Full Version : Don't become your own urban barbeque!

Yesterday evening a gentleman in a nearby neighborhood was cooking a meal on his barbeque inside a screened porch on the rear of his house.

He just stepped inside the main house with the steaks when the barby blew and the resulting fire destroyed the house.

The father, mother, son and the family dog escaped, two cats perished.

Word from the neighbors is that it was a leaking or faulty fitting.

A timely warning for all to not overlook this important spring chore!

A few shots of the damage that I took today:

Apparently the man made heroic efforts to return to the house for them but was driven back by the smoke.
