....a special effects person working for Great White. Come on, people! Don't use pyrotechnics in a small club, and don't light candles near crepe paper!
FALL RIVER, Mass. - A deadly fire that scorched a community center during a prayer service started when candles ignited crepe paper decorations set up for a weekend festival, fire officials said Thursday.
People in the hall tried to extinguish the flames themselves before calling for help late Wednesday, Fire Chief David Thiboutot said.
Four people were killed and at least a dozen were injured.
The flames broke out as members of the Our Lady of Light Society were praying in preparation for a Portuguese religious festival this weekend in this coastal city, which has an active, deep-rooted Portuguese community.
Thirty people were in the three-story building when someone lighting candles dropped a lit taper onto a decorated shrine in the ground-floor community hall, Deputy Fire Chief William Silvia said.
Religious people are as dumb as...

Being Portugese doesn't help either
Funny. Usually this sort of thing is called a tragedy. Hobbs the Sympathetic.
I've just had Sonic Youth electroshocked. This will be repeated for any more nonsensical tirades against the recently deceased.
I thought you liberals loved the poor and the stupid?
oh just be careful lol you never know if your own lucky will be more shameful than theirs.
Actually, Murk, you whining hippy, the stupid person or people is/are the idiot/idiots who lit candles right next to crepe paper. The people who died, those who lost their homes and belongings, those who were injured, they are the victims. I'm betting the dude who lit the candle got out with a few blisters.
One of the persons who died in the fire is a former client of mine, a woman with Down Syndrome. She got so scared, she refused to leave, and when here mother went in to pull her out, her mother also died.
Yeah, nice Hobbs. I overestimated you. Even you will use the dead as your pulpit...
what about your mother?
