Man blowtorches cobwebs, sets house on fire
November 06, 2008 • 2:57 pm
By Diana Fasanella

A Georgia man accidentally set his house on fire as he was attempting to clean it with a blowtorch.

Galen Winchell of Sargent told Coweta County authorities that he was cleaning cobwebs from the exterior eaves with the blowtorch when all of a sudden he noticed smoke pouring from the attic.

Firefighters responded to the scene and extinguished the blaze that was contained to one part of the house, but investigators said the entire home had smoke and water damage.

No one was hurt in the incident.

Except Charlotte.:doh:
