Authorities suspect a Gretna woman who used gasoline to light a barbeque grill accidentally set her neighbor's house ablaze Saturday evening when the fuel can ignited, according to an arrest report.
No one was injured in the fire at a home in the 3000 block of Hero Drive, said Chief Michael Labruzza of the Davy Crockett Steam Fire Company No. 1. But resident Ruby Villacorta Romero, 33, was arrested and booked with negligent arson, Gretna police said.
Villacorta had planned to cook on an open grill that was set up under a carport at her residence, Gretna police said. The arrest report said she doused the grill with gasoline to help start the fire.
But when Villacorta tried to light the grill, a large flame erupted, igniting the full gas can that was on the ground next to the grill, the report said. Villacorta is accused of grabbing the gas can and tossing it away from the carport.
But she threw the flaming can toward her neighbor's residence, where it hit the side of the house, authorities said. The outside of the residence caught fire, melting the siding and causing moderate damage, according to Labruzza.
Firefighters responded and extinguished the blaze. Villacorta told authorities the fire spread to her neighbor's house after she tried to use water to put out the flames.

No foto. Is it a Teen woman, or a toothless meth head redneck? Sounds much more meth head like.
That whole BBQ set was hilarious.

I’ll but the science curriculum is her school was devoted to teaching her about choosing her own gender, etc. Basic Science? Too “old fashioned” and “boring,” for woke curriculum writers.
World famous liberal icon Henry David Thoreau———
On April 30, 1844, Henry David Thoreau accidentally started a major forest fire in the Concord woods after his campfire got out of control. The fire burned 300 acres of forest and nearly set the town of Concord ablaze.
The local newspaper, The Concord Freeman, estimated the damages at over $2,000 and chided Thoreau, indirectly, for his “thoughtlessness.”
Thoreau recounted the event in a long journal entry, dated May 31, 1850, during which he explained why he didn’t feel any remorse for starting the fire:
“I once set fire to the woods. Having set out, one April day, to go to the sources of Concord River in a boat with a single companion, meaning to camp on the bank at night or seek a lodging in some neighboring country inn or farmhouse, we took fishing tackle with us that we might fitly procure our food from the stream, Indian-like.....
The earth was uncommonly dry, and our fire, kindled far from the woods in a sunny recess in the hillside on the east of the pond, suddenly caught the dry grass of the previous year which grew about the stump on which it was kindled. We sprang to extinguish it at first with our hands and feet....
As I ran toward the town through the woods, I could see the smoke over the woods behind me marking the spot and the progress of the flames…
Presently I heard the sound of the distant bell giving the alarm, and I knew that the town was on its way to the scene. Hitherto I had felt like a guilty person....

One of those women who needs to stay in the kitchen.
Nonsense. She pored the gas from the can onto the grill that had hot coals already.
It still cracks me up to this day.
