Even with the best precautions, fires can still occur. I don’t think it’s fair to assume negligence on the part of the family who has lost their home and beloved dog.

What a terrible thing to say. That house was up far longer than you have been alive. More than likely was accidental. They lost their home and their critter. Show some restraint.
