Lawn mower catches fire, blaze destroys home
Ledger-Enquirer.com | 08/15/2007 | Lawn mower catches fire, blaze destroys home
JOHNS CREEK, Ga. --Danny Fendley started more than just his mower Tuesday afternoon when he tugged at the machine's pull chord.
The mower "exploded," starting a fire that soon destroyed Fendley's home in the hot, parched conditions.
He was trying to start the mower in the garage of his two-story brick home in the north Atlanta suburb of Johns Creek when the machine burst into flames. Before Fendley could extinguish the fire, it had spread all over the garage.
Then his wife tried to toss a can of gasoline out a window as the blaze spread, but she missed, spreading the fuel "everywhere," he said.
The flames engulfed the house in less than a minute. The two escaped without serious injury.

City will consider sprinkler mandate
Press-Telegram - City will consider sprinkler mandate:
As the codes stand now, the Fire Department can require sprinkler systems in older buildings only under certain circumstances: when a building is being converted from one use to another; when a new high-rise or a large nightclub is built or opened; and in buildings where exiting may be precarious, such as below-ground garages or units. They are considering requiring existing buildings to be retrofitted w/in 10 years. Lots of people are upset about it.
Long Beach city council will hold a hearing on Tuesday.

Wildfire Prevention PSA - Once Upon A Time
Since 1944, Smokey Bear has been the symbol of the protection of America's forests. More than 60 years later, he is still wearing his blue jeans, but his trademark line has received an update. It's now: "Only You Can Prevent Wildfires." And for good reason- the destruction of land by fire has expanded beyond just the forest.
"Wildfire" refers to any uncontrolled, outdoor fire. The year 2000 marked one of the greatest acreage losses to wildfire since 1957. Eight million acres burned that year (about the size of New Hampshire), and of that more than 3 million acres were lost due to fires caused by humans.
To renew the important message of wildfire prevention to Americans, Smokey has recently enlisted the help of Bambi. Smokey has an experienced partner in Bambi, who was actually the first face of the forest fire prevention message in 1942. FCB-Southern California, who has worked on the campaign since the beginning, featured Bambi on posters to remind us to be careful with our forests. The latest spots featuring Bambi ask us all to "Don't Let Our Forests Become Once Upon a Time."
All the PSAs direct people to www.smokeybear.com to learn all about wildfires and how we can protect our forests.
