The cause of the blaze has yet to be ascertained but initial reports suggested a battery charger may have overheated.

Friendly reminder that this can happen to anyone.

They’re almost certainly volunteer fire fighters given that this is a rather small town, so there might not have been any present at the time.

The home directly next door to our town fire station (less than 200 yards away) burned down when I was in high school. Also it was also the fire chief’s former house.

We kinda always assumed it was for insurance money, but I really have no idea.

Stuff like this tends to be an “everyone assumed someone else was on it”.
