I found out the cause of the fire. Someone left a cigarette on a plastic table, and ignited on the other side of the house. I smelled a burning plastic smell, and now I know. The fire department didn't communicate this to me. I found out from a family member.

They really shook me up, and didn't tell me later what caused the fire. I went to the other side of the house, and saw the table. One of the legs of the table was basically distroyed by the fire, and that ignited the house. The fire department got here rapidly, and put it out.

They were not nice to me, and they had a big laugh after they did their work. They stood in a big circle, and talked, and laughed, and laughed. Instead of laughing, they could have communicated with me about what started the fire. They knew I lived in the house. BF
