Nice story. May I suggest that this be offered in a book form?It was too long to read in one sitting.

It appears someone didn't follow the directions... setbacks from combustible materials, creosote removal from the chimney system... unfortunate incident and it's good that the home was saved. One advantage to having the critter outdoors, and unfortunately sometimes a consequence as most are more careful with one that's in the house.
