HEADBOARD MIRROR SPARKS FIRE

A mirrored headboard discarded in the back of a home is being blamed for starting a fire which burned down a garage in Fresno, California on Sunday. The family who lived in the home had left the headboard out in the back yard resting near a wood-framed carport that contained a vehicle and several boxes. The firefighters got a clue of the blaze’s cause when they felt radiant heat from the mirror, which also occasionally blinded them with the sun’s reflection. “A mirror is pretty much like a big magnifying glass,” said Hector Vasquez, spokesman for the Fresno Fire Department. The cause of the fire was ruled as accidental, and damage was about $15,000.
* Now why would a guy want a mirrored headboard that acts like a magnifying glass? Why, I wonder aloud?
* There’s your band name of the week: The Headboard Mirrors.
* You throw this in with today’s Dave Grohl story and it’s been a big day for garages.
* Doesn’t this sound like one of those Allstate Mayhem commercials?
* This was just nature’s way of clearing out the trash from the backyard.
* A mirrored headboard? Sounds like sex with Donald Trump.
