I live within an hour's driving distance from New Bedford. Which is a short enough distance for this to get on the 5:00 news. I pitied the news anchors who had to deliver this news with a straight face.
Ages back now, an old friend (Mike) wanted to know how to get the mist effect as used on stage etc. I told him it was dry ice vapour. He asked what was dry ice so as a wind up, I told him you had to dry off an ice cube with a blowlamp. It was only a joke, never thought he would take it seriously!
Silly sod only went and tried it, almost setting the carpet on fire. His mother went mental at me :D
This is the same guy that after continously knocking at my mate Mick's door for several days, was satisfied with an "automated door answering machine".
Basically, Mick wrote on a bit of paper "Mike, am not in, love Mickey", pushed it though the letterbox making a bzzzzzzz sound as he did so. Mike watched the bit of paper, took it, read it, folded it up neatly and put it in his pocket, and walked off. I watched him through the spy hole, my mate Mick and I just fell about laughing.
I may have told this story before in another thread.......
Mr. Silva... New Bedford. MA.... This means it was a Portuguese inmigrant, probably an older adult from the Azorean Islands who worked for 40 years to buy that house... :/
Surprised building codes allow vinyl siding, once it gets burning it burns pretty fiercely, dripping burning drips of molten plastic onto anything below.

With a name like Mr. Silva he could have been an doctor.....of Asian decent :D
