More from The Verdict on Iowa house fires causing injury and death

Death by house fire. How about using a flashlight?

Is it me getting older or are instances where people seem to lack common sense increasing? 

Fort Dodge, Iowa: Two reports from KCCI report on a house fire where Larry Parsons, 58 died from injuries suffered during a house fire last week. There were two other people reported to be in the house.  Take a look at this report of how it started and tell me if you see something lacking in this person’s deductive reasoning and intuitive abilities? The cause of the fire is really one with a person or persons lacking common sense.

Investigators said the fire started when someone used a lighter to look under a couch for a dropped cigarette, and the flame from the lighter ignited the couch. Des Moines Register article.

Really …are you serious? What level of education does it require to know that a lighter under a couch isn’t a good idea?

We will cover this more extensively on The Verdict, our blog at the Lombardi Law Firm. Our coverage will include rights, responsibilities and more extensive reporting on safety issues.
