So you ask what do they have in common?............ well I am about to tell you.............NOTHING!!!! so heres what happened, I am on the second floor of the house and my 14 yr old daughter decided to make some Mozzarella sticks in the deep fryer, so I tell her "make sure you unplug the deep fryer" well an hour later I say did you unplug the deep fryer as i told you? she runs down the steps to check and yells up "its still on" I then say well turn it off and she says "how?" I say "just unplug it" well ok I thought it was simple (lol) little did I know! ...............fast forward about 45 min the wife says why do I smell somke? so I run down the steps and over to the pellet stove, heres where it turns bad, I look at the pellet stove and see red ashes and smoke but dont hear the blower going hmmmmm I think oh no I have a hopper fire so I lift the lid (bad mistake) the hopper is filled with smoke! house is filling with smoke seems when I said "just unplug it" the daughter thought I was talking about unpluging the pellet stove. Its kind of funny now but boy was I crapping my pants for a few seconds!
 
Did you unplug the fryer yet?
 
I remember once when I was younger,I worked at demolition and was heading to the remains of a new house fire.That morning, here were the family sitting on the curb crying and in the background was their half-burnt house. The son had set it on fire somehow....pretty sad........
