Burning Down the House

A Florida man claims that his wife's dell laptop caught fire while sitting on the couch on top of some papers and over 20 minutes burned his house down. Interestingly, he wasn't able to battle the flames, but did repeatedly run into the home to save photos, toys and his wife's purse. The man had a six year old child that was more concerned about the loss of their DVD collection reportedly. No ruling on the cause of the flames has been given, so Dell isn't on the hook yet. If they rule the laptop caused the fire, this will be one hell of a law suit.
