Cigarettes kill

I really don’t mean to make fun – a woman died for goodness sake! But there’s been another apartment burn down in Oildale this week. As usual it was started by a smoldering cigarette and allowed to get out control by a lack of a smoke detector. This is the 3rd or 4th time this year that I can recall. The Californian had a little article about it today. Capt. Doug Johnston questioned why these people didn’t have the devices in the first place.


They were probably setting them off; sitting inside, puffing away.
