Why do people do things like this?

He was warned. I don't understand why so many smokers who are knowledgeable and thorough about fire safety in every other way pretend that a cigarette doesn't count as a fire, and smokers who would never litter otherwise are okay with tossing their cigarette butts on the ground.

That's the most amazing fire investigation I've ever read, with no fire accelerants used either.
They may want to finish the investigation and be sure, otherwise Thomas may consider suicide.

I’m going to say that there is a chance that this guy simply isn’t telling the truth.

General carelessness. My daughter left one of her pet reptile’s sun lamps on and sitting atop an oak dresser while she cleaned its cage. Work completed, she hurriedly left for the weekend. I awoke at O’dark hundred that night to the delicious aroma of bar-b-que. Found the lamp slowly burning its way down through a smoldering dresser top glowing like a charcoal briquette. Another 1/2 inch, and it would have burned clear through.

Here in Texas as I drive home from work at night I see these smoking idiots throw their lit butts out all the time, they would rather burn down someones ranch than dirty up their ashtray or they drive one of the newer cars that don't have ashtrays. When it's dry here you see burnt and burning areas all up and the highways. People caught doing this should be charged with attempted arson. I'm not against smoking but carelessness with fire deserves a good butt-kicking.

Tragic story! I am so sensitive to the smell of smoke I think I would wake up screaming long before the house collapsed on me.
In fact I did wake up screaming one night when we had a malfunction of our heating system in the attic. My husband didn’t smell anything but I insisted he go up into the attic where he found a very small fire just beginning to burn.
