A San Francisco couple is suing their landlord and property managers after a bizarre fire, allegedly caused by a neighbor trying to burn a tick off a dog, destroyed their Lower Nob Hill apartment building.
On March 12, 2024, the tenant and her guest allegedly used an open flame inside a second-floor unit at 825 Post Street to remove the tick from the animal, according to an SF Gate report.
The dog, which ultimately survived, caught fire and ran through the non-pet-friendly apartment unit, igniting furniture and curtains. The dog had to have its ears amputated due to burns, and also suffered burns to the chest and neck, according to a report by the fire department.
The subsequent blaze sent two people to the hospital, displaced 10 residents, and caused an estimated $400,000 in damage.
The suing couple states that the fire would have never happened if the building had enforced its no-pet policy, according to the SF Gate report.
Wait a minute..is this some sort of twisted 'thing'?

Things quickly went from terrible to GAHH!! for a Broward couple and their dog earlier this week when a woman inadvertently lit both the dog and her husband on fire.
On Tuesday, Telma Botcherby was cleaning fleas off her dog with Adams Flea & Tick Spray. According to a BSO incident report, Telma spotted a tick on the floor and decided to kill it with fire.
So, she grabbed a lighter. The dog, Ruby, spooked by the spark, jumped toward where Telma was and suddenly burst into flames.
"I couldn't see any dog, no Ruby," Botcherby told NBC Miami. "She was nothing but flames."
Oh wait. It gets worse.
According to the report, a panicked Telma screamed for her husband, Jess.
Jess ran over and grabbed an engulfed Ruby and jumped into the pool with the dog in his arms. As a result, Jess also suffered burns on his body.
Jess was taken to North Broward Hospital and then transferred to Jackson Memorial as a trauma alert, according to the report. He suffered second-degree burns on 18 to 24 percent of his body, including his left arm and chest and parts of his face.
