Carlisle, Kentucky: A woman in the Kentucky state of the US soaked her couch in alcohol in a bid kill bedbugs, but dropped a lit cigarette and fire erupted as a result.
WLEX-TV in Lexington reported that about 30 people in a Carlise apartment complex lost their homes in Friday night’s blaze, which took hours to be controlled, AP reported.
Firefighters disappeared into the smoke as they climbed the ladder to make sure everyone was out the building.
Complex resident Jackie Bond told the station that she lost everything, but “As long as everybody’s alive, I’ll find a way.”
