Check out this link, a news broadcast for details about the fire at the Arizona School for the Deaf that occurred last Friday. The fire is still under investigation. We can assumed that it wasn't Paul Hogan, as we might first suspect. He has an alibi, hunting crocodiles in the outbacks of Australia.

A fire that burned a dormitory at the Arizona State Schools for the Deaf and the Blind in Tuscan Friday night caused $200,000 worth of damage, authorities said.
Most of the damage occurred in the building’s rafters, said Capt. Trish Tracy, a Tucson Fire Department spokeswoman.
The building also had some structural damage, Tracy said. There were no injuries.
The fire began after a gas barbecue grill fell over a few feet from the building and wind blew hot embers to the roof, she said. It was a relief that a Deaf child who have a reputation of a wolf, didn't cried "fire," as his peers may doubt him, may it be a lesson. The children knew they had to evacuate
the premises, as they have been practicing fire drills since October, taking it seriously.
The students and staff who live in the dorm will move to a different building on campus until repairs can be made, she said.

Deaf Anthology may wish to point out that the students have been busy rehearsing a play, "The Great Chicago Fire," at the Berger Performance Center, wasn't that an irony conclusion. I wonder if the cow used in the play knocked over the barbeque grill?
Smokey commented that those burgers were delicious.
