7. A head-scratcher

What's the rush to scoop the embers of a just-extinguished fire out of the fireplace at 3 a.m.? Plus, some reports say a bag was used, not a container, which is suicidal. Even if it was a container, it obviously didn't have a lid on it. Plus placing this near the trash and the structure itself is a no-no. The guy who did this is in construction. Surprised he didn't know better.
