house fire
Fire explosion critically injures 2 in Sacramento home
KCRA is reporting that early Wednesday morning at around 4:30, a home in south Sacramento caught fire resulting in an explosion and critically injuring two people.
According to the Sacramento Fired Department, the walls of the home were bowing out several feet after the explosion, with flames shooting up to 40 feet.
It was later learned that two people were brought to the UC Davis Medical Center, where they are currently listed in critical condition. Firefighters did not locate any other victims at the scene.
The cause of the early morning fire on Herbosa Vista Court is still being investigated. However, as crews were mopping up the scene they came across marijuana plants and growing materials, typical of what you would find in a marijuana growing operation. There were a number of fully grown plants in the backyard.
KCRA spoke to neighbors who said they have seen suspicious activity, with people coming and going and generators running at all hours of the day.
Sharon Osbourne catches house on fire
Sharon Osbourne told her television audience on The Talk today that she almost burned down her house when she fell asleep leaving a candle burning.
At approximately 5 a.m. Sharon woke up to a noise, thinking the house keepers were in the house. As she started to smell something funny, she went to investigate and discovered a candle she had lit the night before had shattered, spreading oil and wax, which caught fire.
Husband and rocker Ozzy, who had surgery on his hand yesterday tried putting the flames out and suffered some minor burns, mainly singeing facial hair and his long locks of hair.
According to Sharon a bunch of good looking firemen from the Beverly Hills Fire Department responded to the blaze, and then proceeded to lecture her on candle safety.
“Please please check your candles before you go to bed,” Osbourne pleaded, “It can happen to you.”
Turns out the offending candle was a gift from America’s Got Talent’s new judge Howard Stern.
Just a coincidence?
Next seasons AGT should be interesting.
