Sometimes, it’s better to just forget someone and move on without making any dramatic statements.
A fire was reported in an apartment building in Nebraska, according to the local fire department. Apparently, the cause of the blaze was an unusual culprit: heartbreak.
The Lincoln Fire Department posted about the incident on its Facebook page, where they revealed that the fire was allegedly caused by a young woman burning letters from her ex. Apparently, she had trouble actually igniting them, so she reportedly left the romantic messages “smoldering” on her carpet while she took a nap.
