The Sure-Fire Dryer
Royal Palm Beach, FL
A man in the 200 block of Southwest Third Street was drying a towel in the oven when it caught fire. The man was not aware the towel was on fire. He laid it on the bed, which caught fire. There were no smoke detectors or fire extinguishers in the apartment. The fire was determined to be accidental.

Normally if something is on fire –it is very obvious! Maybe this guy couldn’t see, smell, or feel.

Interestingly, he picked up a burning object and laid it on a flammable object. Usually, the results of that are not good. Dumb sh*t!
