I work as a firefighter/EMT in a fairly rural area. I was once called to a residential fire. We pulled up to a mobile home with smoke coming out of the back. When we walked around, we found that there was a strange wooden structure nailed to the back of the mobile home, and that the majority of the fire was coming from that. The owner of the property, a bearded man with few teeth cursing and waving a garden hose. We put out the fire pretty quickly, and there was minimal damage to the home itself. The wooden structure, on the other hand, was destroyed.

Before we left, our captain asked the man if he knew how the fire may have started. The man answered that he had started the fire intentionally. As we all listened, the man described how he had started to build an "addition" to his house, but realizing that he was too lazy to finish it, decided to burn it down. "But it's okay!" he said. "I had a garden hose in case things got out of hand!"
