Two fires in Maryland last month were blamed on people trying to thaw out their frozen pipes.
In Taneytown, a homeowner reportedly tried to use a blowtorch to thaw the pipes. No one was injured, but the fire caused around $300,000 in damage. Around 90 firefighters had to battle the blaze, officials told the Associated Press.
