Mass. Man Melting Snow With Blowtorch Ends Up Igniting Home, Causing $30,000 In Fire Damage
NEW BEDFORD, Mass., Dec. 23, 2008
(AP) 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.

I don't know...maybe it's just cruel and rubbing salt in the wound, but I think he should've been charged.
