DETROIT, Mich - A Detroit woman apologized for a massive Nov. 3 fire that she and authorities said was accidentally started by her efforts to eradicate bed bugs from her apartment, The Detroit Free Press reported.
The fire tore through Ramblewood Apartments, destroying the 48-unit complex. Sherry Young was injured along with four others, including three firefighters, the newspaper reported.
Young told the newspaper she had doused herself with rubbing alcohol before it was ignited by a stove and oven. She said she had turned on the stove and oven the previous day to heat up her apartment, on advice from a neighbor, as part of the effort to kill the bed bugs.
