@NeverOwned Hey asshole, that guy cooking that "hamburger"? Yeah, I know him. Worked with him. Keep being an ignorant prick. I hope one day you will know how it feels to be stuck in a burning house fot 15 minutes. Inbred scum.

@murthad02 - pardon this n00b buff 0- what do the various tones mean? Was anyone hurt? Looks like these FF's had lots of help and did a good job.

Wrong lefty, it was a man cooking a hamburger too long.

My first guess would be a gas leak. or improper lighting of an appliance. That looks like a gas exhaust chimney near the end that blew out.

Given that there were multiple calls, there could not have been much time between ignition and response. That was one fast-movig fire.
