We once had a pizza and beer party at a friend's house. Afterwards we threw all the pizza boxes into the fireplace on top of the logs.
After several minutes we heard sirens.
They got louder as they seemed to get closer.
Finally a crew of firemen stormed up onto his front porch with hoses, axes and ladders in hand.
Imagine Our surprise when they told us we'd have to get out because the chimney was on fire!!!
They closed off the flue and the fire killed itself. We got a scolding about burning pizza bozes in a fireplace that (must not have) hadn't been cleaned.
Live and learn!
