Bullying
I first read that as “WEST AVENUE PARTY CLOSED IN EUREKA AFTER STRUCTURE FIRE”.
I thought an off the hook party took the phrase we are gonna burn this place down a bit too literally.
There are no “accidents.” Fires are caused by the owner (shoddy construction, bad wiring, old wiring, etc.) or the tenant (falling asleep smoking, oily rags near heater/heating duct, clothes left on heating duct, candles left unattended, cooking issues, etc.). Remember this when all the “accidents” happen this season.
Was that a condo?
Good reporting Kyme,
nobody else provided a picture.
Kym Kemp please tell your readers to find out the facts before jumping to conclusions. I am related to this family and what happened was a granddaughter fell asleep and left a candle burning… There in need of any and everything if the community wants to help. and Grandma is now Homeless..
