There's a reason for those rules, as you well know. In one apartment
the people who lived downstairs damn near set my (wooden) balcony on
fire. The whole building could have gone up if I hadn't been there.
Turns out the guy's teenage kids were visiting for the weekend. They
thought they'd be "helpful" and start dinner before he got home. They
decided to grill chicken. Lit the grill, threw the chicken on then went
inside and forgot about it.

Just roast cabbage in the oven, Gary. And keep an eye on those
neighbors!
