If your sofa's on fire, you might want to tuck a baby in each arm before heading over to the neighbor's for a fire extinguisher. Fires have been known to be fiery, burney and even a bit smokey; and the laws of combustion probably aren't suspended on your couch:
Colena Gallagher, a cousin of Jessica Pitts, lives in another apartment in the building.She said Jessica Pitts came to her door and asked if she had a fire extinguisher. She said Pitts told her a sofa was on fire.
The two took an extinguisher to Pitts' apartment, where they found the door had collapsed. They tried to break a window to get to the children, but could not.
They'll no doubt be taking a hard look at this girl to try to determine if this was a case of tragic idiocy or something more malevolent.

It looks like another Susan Smith incident to me. I hope she goes to jail for a long, looong time.
Posted by: kbiel at October 20, 2006 10:35 AMTurns out she had a fire extinguisher in her own apartment.
The apartment has firewalls, so while it kept the fire from spreading to other apartments, it also turned that particular apartment into an oven.
why the uproar about idiots slaughtering their own ?
