“The tenant had been thawing pipes underneath the house in the crawl
space and it burned up the plumbing wall into the attic; the fire was
inside the walls,” Fire Chief Paul Maplethorpe said.

“It burned through the roof rafters and the floor joists,” he said,
adding that firefighters at first entered the home, but encountered
spongy floors because of fire in the crawl space."

An hour later they were back to extinguish a blaze in an adjacent store...
it had spread through a common space above the drop ceiling.
