The Airdrie fire department has released the cause into that blaze that destroyed a home Wednesday - and it may surprise you.
Investigators say rags that were used to apply linseed oil to the deck the previous day were left in a bucket to dry. The heat from the sun ignited them, and the fire spread from the deck to the house. Damage is pegged at $300,000. Two adjacent homes also sustained minor damage to the siding and fences. No one was hurt and a dog was rescued from the scene.
