Trying to burn letters from an ex-boyfriend, a Nebraska resident accidentally set fire to an apartment
The girl accidentally set fire to her apartment when she went to take a nap after trying to burn love letters from her ex with a gas burner. Writes about this Daily Mail.
19-year-old Ariauna Chantell Lillard from Lincoln, Nebraska, tried to burn letters from her ex-boyfriend on the balcony of her apartment with a butane burner. When she failed to do this, she was upset, brought them into the apartment, laid them on the floor and went to the next room for a nap.
After a while, Lillard woke up from the smell of smoke and found that a carpet in her apartment, presumably from letters, lit up in her apartment. The girl called the emergency service.
Firefighters managed to extinguish the flame within a few minutes and, fortunately, no one was hurt.

“She used a small butane torch to light letters from her ex-boyfriend. But they did not ignite, so the girl put them on the carpet and went to take a nap. The unfortunate woman did not understand that the letters were smoldering. This set the carpet on fire, and the girl woke up when the smoke detector went off,” said a spokesman for the Lincoln Police Department.
A preliminary estimate of the damage from the fire was $ 4000, the house was more affected by smoke.
The girl was charged with negligent behavior with fire, for which she will stand trial.
