From Oak Ridge Today, in Oak Ridge TN-Deck fire apparently caused by charcoal ashes discarded in trash bag

Deck fire apparently caused by charcoal ashes discarded in trash bag

Charcoal ashes discarded in a trash bag on a deck apparently started a Wednesday afternoon fire on Golfcrest Lane, the Oak Ridge Fire Department said Thursday.

"After talking with the home owner and further investigation, it appears that the fire started in a trash bag that was on the deck that had been used to discard some old charcoal ashes from the night before," the press release said.

The Fire Department said it is not a good practice to use grills on wooden or composite decks, and it is against the local fire code in multi-family residences such as apartments and condominiums.
