Asked by Red almost 10 years ago

Depends on the scenario. Just being in possession of weapon not neccessarily. Is it a felony in a violent encounter. You have given me not enough info

I forgot to turn off my oven broiler (oven was empty) for about 10 min, but sitting on the top of stove were my Publix Pilgrim salt & pepper shakers. My son said I could burn down our town house.
Is that true? if so how long would take?

Asked by Roxanne about 10 years ago

I would be amazed to see that happen but with that said stoves are designed to keep the heat in the oven. It is never a good thing to put things on the stove. So yes you could have a fire but it would take a faulty stove or accidently turning on the stovetop burners.

Join a volunteer Dept and get yourself ready. Down South we don't have civil service exams. When the vacancy occurs we advertize the position for applicants.

Can a clean up take place right after a fire is put out, and is this ever done if arson might be the cause

Asked by kim over 10 years ago

Clean up or salvage begins immediately so that more items can be rescued. As for arson fires that would be no due to it being an active crime scene.
