A resident of the United States accidentally set fire to his house, trying to melt the snow on the site, writes Complex. The man tried to do it with a torch.

The American, realizing that the flames had accidentally spread to the house, called the rescuers himself. Firefighters arrived at the scene 10 minutes later, having managed to put out the fire before it caused serious damage to the building.

According to Matrin O'Connor, a former fire chief, he has experienced similar incidents more than once. According to him, with the onset of cold weather, people try to thaw frozen pipes or quickly get rid of snow, but they forget about safety precautions.

“People take blowtorches or other open flame devices. This is a bad idea,” commented the specialist.

It is reported that the owner of the house was not injured as a result of the fire.

Earlier, a teenager from the United States used deodorant and set off a fire with an explosion in his own apartment.
