We had a near disaster in the 100 bulding last evening. I thought I was taking a picture of a fire charred deck, but now that I look at it, the whole center of the pictures is the ground under the hole. The guests in this unit had brought their own barbecue barrel. This morning they reported a fire on their deck.
The top picture is of the fire damage outside the closet door. The other is of the area with the closet door open. In the top right hand corner is the briquette that caused the fire, according to the fireman who looked it over. It appears that somehow the briquette was under the the edge of the closed door where it could not be seen and it smoldered all night. We were very fortunate that a full blaze was not present. No one seems to know how that briquette got to where it was.
