My guess on the cause
500 quatloos on "improper disposal of smoking materials" or the equivalent.

The fire was real bad. They had to house down houses and my house which is down the street smelled like smoke. I am glad no one was hurt.
Nice people that live there, they speak to you all the time.
Wow! There've been quite afew fires lately.
I have a hunch that the latest cold weather spell has something to do with it, but that's my take on it.
Here's hoping that everybody's okay.
