House Fire

I was gone over the weekend so I missed a nearby house fire.  The NC Times article quoted the the sheriff's office as saying the fire was caused by a starter log that started a box of starter logs.  I am very glad that nobody was hurt but I do sense some irresponsibility here.  First, a single story house with 10 - 12 residents.  That seems a bit crowded to me;  I wonder how many are children.  I think a more likely story than the exploding box of logs is that mom or dad lit the fire, left it, and kids started playing with said fire.  And we all know what can happen when you play with fire.
On a side note, I was around for last nearby house fire and was very annoyed by all the news helicopters.  They flew around at low altitudes making a ton of noise.  There has to be some sort of regulations on this.  I will have to check with the FAA.

Here is a picture of the aftermath.
