Someone seems to have censored the bit where the dispatcher advises them to be on the lookout for valuable Dali replicas. Poor show.
When you have someone as flaming as Chris, you can never have enough firemen.Wow that seems like a lot of calls for backup. Is it normal for a housefire to require dozens of firefighters? I mean of course this hellish trash inferno was hardly average, but...

So Chris actually wasn't the cause of the fire?

Chris had a dozen firefighters and still needed more manpower. Tell me that's not gay.The most "man power" to have been in that house in years.
I wasn't worried about that one. Firemen are so greedy that they automatically know to look for purses. But a Dali replica? Well, you don't see those every day. That'll pay for a new fire engine with spinning rims and everything.And Barb's purse as well.
It mentions "1 Patient" in EMS R401 heading to MJH (likely the hospital) on the second page. I'm assuming that was the firefighter.
No.So, does that mean they lose out on insurance money? After all, they caused the cord to degrade through their own negligence instead of being the fault of the machine.
Dragons may not have much real use for all their wealth, but they know it to an ounce as a rule, especially after long possession; and Smaug was no exception. He had passed from an uneasy dream (in which a warrior, altogether insignificant in size but provided with a bitter sword and great courage, figured most unpleasantly) to a doze, and from a doze to wide waking. There was a breath of strange air in his cave. Could there be a draught from that little hole? He had never felt quite happy about it, though it was so small, and now he glared at it in suspicion and wondered why he had never blocked it up. Of late he had half fancied he had caught the dim echoes of a knocking sound from far above that came down through it to his lair. He stirred and stretched forth his neck to sniff. Then he missed the cup!
Thieves! Fire! Murder! Such a thing had not happened since first he came to the Mountain! His rage passes description—the sort of rage that is only seen when rich folk that have more than they can enjoy suddenly lose something that they have long had but have never before used or wanted.
The extension cord which the chandlers were using ran through the bathroom doorway, and every time the door was opened/closed, it wore off some of the plastic coating/insulation on the cord. Finally, overloaded and striped of its protective insulation, the cord sparked and started the fire. The fire wasn't electrical, it was a horde fire. If the fire had been electrical, the power would have been shut off much sooner than it actually was. If it hadn't been for that stupid bitch Barb's hording, and the general negligence/stupidity of the Chandlers, the fire never would have happened. All of Barb's shit she bought from goodwill over the years ended up burning down her family's home. It says something that it took the fire department about an hour and a half to put the fire out.
Chris' responsibility would be kind of like if him and Barb failed to prevent a gas leak out of negligence, and then Chris lit up a smoke, not knowing anything was wrong.So Chris actually wasn't the cause of the fire?
It's entirely possible that he just didn't know those things were fire hazards. Much as I'd like to say "Chris takes no responsibility for anything!" I think in this case, Hanlon's razor applies.Chris' responsibility would be kind of like if him and Barb failed to prevent a gas leak out of negligence, and then Chris lit up a smoke.
It's also interesting how Chris glossed over the details of how the fire started, not even mentioning the extension cord at first, and then not even mentioning the whole door thing.
I was going to say that nobody could be that dense but then I remembered who we are talking about. I can totally believe that Chris either doesn't understand the dangers of exposed/frayed wiring or that he was completely oblivious to the condition of the extension cord.It's entirely possible that he just didn't know those things were fire hazards.

I hear it's not unusual for hoarders to be too ashamed to let people in their house.So, Chris's (and presumably Barb's) gross disregard for personal hygiene may actually have saved his life? Because if he'd stepped on that frayed power cord with wet feet, we may well have been looking at a combined electrocution and house fire.
I guess this also gives us a clue as to how long it's been since the house had any real maintenance done on it, as any self-respecting electrician would likely have browbeat Bob and/or Barb into replacing the bathroom outlet with a GFCI outlet, which would have stood a much better chance of preventing the fire.

I suspect that he called the fire department and asked for it. That's how I get fire reports.How in the world did you get this?![]()
