Unfortunately, but yeah.

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

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.

I have a dream. It's not a big dream, it's just a little dream. My dream - and I hope you don't find this too crazy - is that I would like the people of this community to feel that if, God forbid, there were a fire, calling the fire department would actually be a wise thing to do. You can't have people, if their houses are burning down, saying, "Whatever you do, don't call the fire department!" That would be bad.
