The fire is clearly blowing out a bedroom window. People please stop smoking in 125 b 17th st. Prayers go out to all affected. Be considerate. Theres women, children and innocent people that dont smoke. This may have been in all likelihood a smoker as most fires here end up being. Theres always cigarette butts and blunt roaches that people thrownout the window and can fall in an open window and cause this.
