Man Accidentally Sets Fire to Home with Blowtorch

A Georgia man got more than he bargained for when cleaning his home of cobwebs the other day.

Authorities in Coweta County report that Galen Winchell set fire to his west Georgia home while cleaning cobwebs from exterior eaves with a blowtorch. The man reportedly noticed the blaze when he saw smoke pouring from the attic.

An area fire investigator reported the blaze was confined to one part of the house, but the entire home suffered smoke and water damage.
