Squirrel dinner prep maybe sparked Michigan fire

Posted: Thu, Oct. 11, 2012, 9:39 AM

HOLLAND TOWNSHIP, Mich. - Authorities say a blaze that displaced dozens of people from a southwest Michigan apartment complex may have been sparked by a resident trying to cook a squirrel with a propane torch.

Fire Chief Jim Kohsel tells MLive.com that the resident apparently planned to eat the animal and was burning off its fur on a third-floor deck at the building in Ottawa County's Holland Township when the fire broke out Wednesday.

Flames spread to the roof. Kohsel says eight apartments are destroyed and others damaged.

The resident's name wasn't immediately released.

Kohsel says a firefighter broke a toe. No residents were injured.

Resident Tiffany Camburn told The Holland Sentinel that she and her neighbors had to evacuate their apartments.

The American Red Cross arranged temporary shelter and clothing for displaced residents.

Another reason I'm glad I don't live in an apartment anymore. Nutty neighbors. :crazy:

Speaking of squirrels, my cat Eddie just killed one about an hour ago. I ran out to get him to drop the poor thing, and he did. It didn't look too hurt but wasn't moving. I took Eddie inside and hoped that the thing was just playing possum. Apparently not, it's still laying there an hour later. Stupid cat, he just ate, not like he was hungry.

Poor critter prolly died of shock-induced cardiac arrest. I mean, when your heart's already fluttering at 110 b.p.m. and your worst nightmare is death by feline, I imagine it doesn't take a whole lot of trauma to throw it out of time.

If you named your cat after the Iron Maiden mascot, then wonder why the cat is violent, wonder no more. If you name your daughter Shauntaviarous and then she has 6 kids by 7 different fathers, with 5' fingernails, 12 Obamaphones and a handful of EBT cards, likewise, you shouldn't be surprised.

Hmmm, didn't know Iron Maiden has an Eddie. All our cats are named after some sort of singer. Ozzy (Osbourne), Mick (Jagger), and Shady (Eminem). Eddie was always intended to be named after Eddie Vedder, but people assume it's Eddie Van Halen but he's not a singer. We let them think what they want, but I really need to find out more about this Iron Maiden dude. :lol:

Not that I'm particularly big fans of any of these guys, it's just helpful when naming cats. :D

And I realize that some won't consider Shady to be a singer. :lol:

Edit: Ah, I see that Eddie is the name for the Iron Maiden mascot, Eddie Mask.

Picture of the offender, taken several months ago but exactly where the dead squirrel currently lies.

He should've killed the squirrel first. Nothing good can come from letting a flaming squirrel loose in your apartment.

What do you have against gay squirrels? They are just squirrels that like nuts.

I have nothing against gay squirrels in principle. It's when they gather in groups and try to coerce the general population into accepting their gay squirrel agenda that I'm forced to draw a line in the sand.


What I do oppose is the proliferation of arsonist squirrels:

Firefighters: Flaming Squirrel To Blame In Jones Wildfire


JONES, Okla. -

A squirrel caught fire, sparking a blaze Wednesday morning that resulted in the evacuation of an elementary school in Jones, fire officials said.

Investigators said the squirrel touched two power lines at the same time and fell to the ground near Britton and Hiawassee roads.

That fire burned 5 acres in the Jones area, forcing the evacuation of the elementary school. Those students were taken to Jones High School.

School officials said the students would be kept at the high school for the rest of the day. Parents will be able to pick them up at the normal time, although some parents have already come to the school to pick up kids.

Several trailers burned in the fire. However, no people were injured.

Stay tuned to KOCO.com for any further details.

I killed a squirrel while I was snow skiing once. SOB ran right out in front of me. He went right between my skis. I never even touched him and the little sucker fell over dead on the spot.

Damnedest thing I ever saw.
