PEOPLE BEING PEOPLE

A Michigan garden-apartment complex was destroyed after a resident tried to cook a squirrel with a propane torch. Firefighters say the man brought the squirrel onto his third-floor deck, intending to burn off its fur with the torch so he could eat it. But the torch’s flame ignited the patio, and the blaze spread. Two fire departments were summoned to fight the fire, which left dozens of people homeless.
