Subject: Clothing ignition from clothes dryer

We had a fire that involved clothing that was recently removed from a clothes dryer and was sprayed with "Axe" body spray. An article in 'Hot Issues' Juvenile Firesetter periodical indicated that some kids (teens) were using this body spray to create torches. The spray contains butane. I'm looking for information on the likelihood of spontaneous ignition of clothing removed from a clothes dryer.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, please email Rich Ciarrone at:

Subject: Outside Cooking Legislation?

Our Fire Prevention bureau is considering legislation requiring bars and restaurants to take out a permit to cook outside the building if they are using commercial sized grills, BBQs and smokers. Does anyone control this activity in their city? Do you have any suggestions on handling this type of situation? Your input on this mater would be greatly appreciated.
