Sew What? Instrument of Domestic Science Causes Apartment Fire Near Forest Edge Elementary

A sewing machine caused an accidental fire Thursday that has displaced 16 residents of a garden apartment complex near Forest Edge Elementary.

The fire, which started in a bedroom in a second floor apartment at 1602 Becontree Lane, caused smoke damage to two other apartments. Our BFFs at Patch have some exciting photos of some hawt hook-and-ladder action, if you're into such things. Some sweet steampunk clip art of a sewing machine is a bit more our speed, but maybe that's just us.
