Really? Cleaning cobwebs with a blowtorch? Natural selection should have taken care of this brainiac.
»www.cbs46.com/news/17919628/detail.html
SARGENT, Ga. -- A Coweta County man who set his house on fire while cleaning out cobwebs with a blowtorch won't be charged, Fire Chief Bill Haynes told CBS 46 Thursday afternoon.
Authorities said Galen Winchell set fire to his home on Smith Road in Sargent around 11:30 a.m. Wednesday as he cleaned cobwebs from exterior eaves with a blowtorch. Winchell noticed the blaze when he saw smoke pouring from the attic.
Haynes said the fire was contained to one part of the house, because the home had several layers of roofing. But haynes said the entire home suffered at least some smoke and water damage.
No one was hurt. -- "So, Lone Star, now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb."

So even if you don't spray it directly onto your skin, Windex can still keep the wind out of your eyes? That's good to know. |

| reply to ptrowski Hmm, that's interesting. I was always under the impression that cobwebs were generally NOT flammable. Not that Ive used a blow torch to clean them out, but for one reason or another I remember lighting one on fire around a camp fire one. It just sorta shriveled and powdered and then disappeared. There is not much there to burn due to their light nature so it seems hard they would burn long enough to light a house on fire. -- The early bird catches the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese. |

The house went on fire from the blowtorch heating up the exterior of the house.... Not from a cobweb catching fire... If you're not careful, a blowtorch can set your house on fire if you use it incorrectly when welding a pipe joint together in a wall for example..
