I didn't think a couch could go up as fast as I witnessed tonight.
On the front of my house I have a covered porch - open to the wild but, covered from the rain.....etc.
On that porch I have had a blue couch that I bought for $1 at a yard sale about 7 years ago.
It was a run down, falling to pieces thing that...well, was taking up space on my front porch but, kept butts from hitting the ground at BBQs.
So, I loaded it up in my GMC and dropped it in my back yard - on the burning pit.
When I grabbed my propane tank (small campfire hand-held deal) to light it, I didn't think much of it.
In fact, I didn't even use any gasoline or aerosol.
I lit the bottom - which makes sense - and before I could reach the tailgate of my truck, the entire couch was aflame!
It was like:
Light.
Small flicker.
Little bit bigger flame.
Turn away.
WWOOOOOFFFFFFF!!!!
Couches burn up quick, kiddies.
Keep those extinguishers and smoke alarms up to date.
At this point, with the flames still licking the air, I can't tell that I ever had a couch out there - and it's only been 20 minutes.
