The story of the couch set on fire really worried me, the last thing we need here is a fire set at the hands of some careless person. Safety suggestion for all: Carry a small fire extinguisher in your vehicle, and keep one at home.

Not only is lighting a couch on fire inane, it approaches attempted murder given the fire danger to the surrounding homes. If this moron managed to start a brush fire that threatened surrounding homes you can bet the Woodside community and their ample resources would crowd source a reward to find the culprit, ruin them financially with civil law suits, and push hard to have them put in jail for a long, long time.

Let's install some cameras around the Canada campus, the setting of the couch ablaze could have caught the whole area on fire! Remember, it wasn't too long ago that a woman's body was found down the hill on the Canada campus, RIP Ms. Bilitnikof. Safety first, preventative measures needed!
