🕯At least the children are alright.
I can only imagine how hot a bean bag chair could burn with all that styrofoam inside it.
Glad those children are okay.
If only we could build walls around bean bag chairs or deport them back to China where they come from.
Maybe just fill them with dry beans instead?
And the cause was??? Space heater, smoking cig/joint…spontaneous combustion?
🕯Ask the crowd? It looks like an old Squires place so know telling.
Mental note: go buy a fire extinguisher to keep handy.
