Toxic Cleaning Products Start House Fire!
Lincoln, Nebraska- Lincoln man is recovering from second and third degree burns after the cleaning products he was using ignited in his home.
According to Lincoln Fire and Rescue, the fire happened around 2:00 Friday afternoon near 71st and Douglas Streets.
Officials say the homeowner was cleaning his floors when the fumes from the cleaner ignited the pilot light in the furnace and hot-water heater, causing the blaze.
"We would encourage people to use non-flammable solvents, use plenty of ventilation and -- if possible -- shut off or stay away from sources of ignition, meaning water heaters, stoves, electric tools, etc. Use lots of ventilation in those areas," said Captain Dustin Morton, Lincoln Fire and Rescue.
Officials say one victim managed to escape uninjured while the other suffered second and third degree burns to his forearm.
The house sustained $15,000 in structural damage and $5,000 in losses.

Nude Maid Steals $40k
TAMPA, FL — In a cautionary tale for those who seek exotic house-cleaning services over the Internet, a nude maid stole $40,000 worth of jewelry Friday from a home in Cheval, Tampa's premier gated community, according to the St. Petersburg Times.
The 20-something maid was paid $100 an hour to clean the four-bedroom, three-bath house in the buff while the 50-year-old man watched, but evidently not closely enough, the story stated.
After the man's wife returned home from a vacation and discovered her jewelry missing, the man told Hillsborough County sheriff's deputies that he had left the maid alone in the bedroom for a "short while," the story noted.
