The First Ka-boom!

Literally!!!

From KSL TV: Homeowner Arrested for Arson Following House Explosion.

A home explodes in Salt Lake City, leaving nothing but a pile of rubble. Now the homeowner is being charged with arson.

The blast was enormous, completely wiping out the home near 600 East Wilmington Avenue (2200 South) and igniting two neighboring houses.

The owner of the home that exploded is a man in his 30s.

Heitkemper said he had talked with the homeowner in the past. "He was talking about trying to take a mortgage out of his house, trying to do something to gain some money," Heitkemper told us.

The homeowner's wife is totally distraught. Apparently she was not living in the house with her husband at the time of the fire. This morning she told us she does not know why the homeowner may have set the house on fire. But she indicated there were financial and emotional issues.


What fun the Federal Reserve hath wrought!
