Burning spider causes apartment fire

[ChappersTeddy]

An attempt to kill a large spider with a torch lighter went awry Sunday when the burning arachnid caused a fire at a California apartment, forcing the residents to move out.
With the eight-legged creature ablaze it scurried onto a nearby mattress, catching it on fire, she said. They were able to extinguish the fire on the mattress, but it quickly spread to a flag collection and drapes in the bedroom, she said.         

The residents tried to put the fire out with a garden hose, but were unsuccessful, fire officials said. The fire caused about $11,000 in damage, officials said.

god bless america

the flag can be burnt when it is felt that it no longer represents the United States of America, so I think that means when a giant loving spider is on it
