It could have been catastrophic, for sure,” Chadwick said.on Twitter, calling on smokers to ensure their cigarette butts and smoking materials are properly disposed of.
As a reminder, gardens, planters, flower pots, combustible containers, etc are for plants, trees, flowers and NOT cigarette butts.One of those seven fires started just outside Larry Jeffrey’s apartment.
