Big fire in Auburn Bay

[sillysod]

House just across 22x from me started on fire and watched it take down atleast 1 other home before they were able to get it put out.

There were atleast 6 trucks, a ladder and a few engines. The second house just kept catching back on fire until the roof colapsed inside itself.

wow....
my vote, methlab explosion

Kidding of course but wow. That community is so new, hopefully it wasnt improper pipe installation or other causes of the sort.

Started in back yard it appears. When it jumped houses there were flames shooting 15' out of the roof vents on the second house. The wind didn't help things.

Fire started around 11am so my money is on cigarette in planter.

You could see people running in and out of the second house trying to get as much stuff out before it caught fire.
