Investigators said the Oct. 10 fire at Clear View Apartments in Holland Township was started by a resident burning the fur off a squirrel with a propane torch. Authorities said the man planned to eat the squirrel.
A spokeswoman for the complex's owner said they would hold the man responsible for the complex's $10,000 insurance deductible. Cooking an animal outside on the deck violates the rental agreement, according to the spokeswoman.
Investigators ruled the fire accidental.

Am I the only one who is hearing banjo music?
T thought I heard a hint of Salsa, but maybe I was thinking of sauce for the critter.
I hear gongs. And chimes in the pentatonic scale.
wait, the apartment lease didn't have a special rider on it for cooking small rodents on the patio?
Maybe he took cooking lessons from my ex......
Expensive squirrel filet. A drizzle of garlic or cilantro could have made for an an international recipe perhaps? Perhaps an IQ test for residents is needed too??
