Bad article. Didn't answer the only question anyone is interested in. Did they get the spider?
Spider probably torched the house and framed the owner
With a quote like that, the firefighters must be Gen Z or later and have never seen Arachnophobia…

FRESNO, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) – A homeowner in Fresno set his home on fire when trying to kill a spider, the Fresno Fire Department said.
Firefighters say they responded to a structure fire in west Fresno over the weekend.
According to fire officials, a homeowner had accidentally started the fire using a torch to exterminate a spider. Nobody reported injuries after the incident, and crews were able to prevent the fire from damaging more of the home.
“We get it, we don’t like spiders either, but it’s never a good idea to use a blow torch or any other flammable device for pest control,” firefighters said in a social media post.
The Fresno Fire Department encourages residents to use safer methods or contact a professional to eliminate spiders or any pests in their homes.
Ew, why are you using brave?
What kind of spider though?
