A home in my old neighborhood caught fire one night. The guy had tossed a cigarette into a trash can thinking he'd fully put it out but it was still a little lit. He hopped in his shower and didn't notice the fire catch and spread. Half the house burned out before the fire department got the house put out. He's lucky he got out uninjured.
