Large home being used as short-term rental heavily damaged by fire in north Scottsdale
The tenants were using a flame thrower to clear cob webs in the attic. It reminds me of the time the tenants were using a gun to clear the room of c@ck roaches.
"Fire crews were initially called to the single-story home around 5:30 a.m. located on 79th Street, just north of Dynamite Boulevard between Scottsdale and Pima roads. There, they located a fire in the attic. Fire officials say the home was being used as a short-term rental and that all 15 people inside made it out safely when the smoke detectors started going off."
How did they get into the attic? That is a bummer, though I think the owners should have kept non-living areas locked up. Not a lot of info so I am interested in what happened.
That is a shame. Where did the flame thrower come from?
I am guessing lighter and something in a can that can combust. I suppose that would be a flame thrower. Side note. While I served we found a flame thrower while ordering parts. Its listed under cleaning supplies. It is used to clean shrubs away from chain link fences.
I’m assuming the oldest of the FIFTEEEN tenants was in his 20’s.
Another case of wanting the best insurance, not the cheapest. Can you marine a few months of rent loss payments? Coudl be the best year they ever have. Or you find out they ”forgot” to tel o their insurance agent they were renting it out, and it could be their worst.
