Home catches fire during pipe thawing
HOW THE HECK COULD THIS HAPPEN? WHAT WERE THEY USING TO THAW THE PIPES?
THIS HAS ME PUZZLED.... --- http://www.kttc.com/story/24683160/2...east-rochester Home catches fire during pipe thawing in southeast Rochester Posted: ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) -- One homeowner in southeast Rochester is dealing with quite a mess due to his neighbor's frozen pipes. The Rochester Fire Department says the pipes between the water main and a home in the 2100 block of 14th Street Southeast were frozen, so the homeowner called a service to thaw them out. During the thawing process, the home next door caught fire just after 5 p.m. Saturday. The pipe was also connected to the neighbor's home, whose pipes were not frozen. According to the Rochester Fire Department, the fire did $2,500 in damage to the side of the house. The owner of that home was inside. No one was hurt. |
