Left me wondering. Why would anyone take ashes
out of a fireplace in the middle of the night when the
fire has just gone out? I've always just left them
there until at least a day or two later. Seems easy
and natural to do it that way, no?


My ashes go into a metal container with a lid and it goes outside.
Makes no sense what they did unless they figured they could close the
damper. Sad tragedy over a dumb act.
