Thanksgiving Dinner Turns into Neighbor's Nightmare
11/23/06
LONG NECK- A Delaware family's Thanksgiving dinner is rocked by an explosion. Family members say they left a deep fryer unattended outside, and in just minutes a home went up in flames. The twist is, it was not their home; it was the home next door. The car port burned to the ground. The house itself was also damaged.
The man who lives next door admits responsibility. He says he was planning to deep-fry a turkey outside. He says he left the fryer outside to warm up. The next thing he knew, his family heard an explosion, looked out the window, and saw their neighbor's house in flames.
The Delaware State Fire Marshal's Office is still investigating exactly what happened.
There was no one inside of the house. Neighbors say it is a vacation home for an out of town family.
