Why? I would hope the arsonist could be charged with over 300 felonies instead of just one. The next time it could be somebody's house. Arsonists usually keep setting fires until they are caught.

I wouldn't jump to conclusions because there's always the possibility that something sparked the highly volatile methane gas, a by-product of human waste.
I can see the caretaker for the fenced in lot in my mind, running and screaming at the top of his lungs, covered in fecal matter looking like a creature from the Black Lagoon..."It's alive...!!!"

Isn't their motto, "Do your business with us"?

Holy flaming s**t!
If you hear a knock from outside when you're inside one of these, just say, "Go away, I'm in my comfort zone!"

Now this is NEWS! Sure am glad I checked in before I went to bed. Would have been upset had I missed this "Breaking News" story.
Rest easy tonight my freinds, the world is safe now that the sh&t stopped burning in Tarpon.

Portables are vented so that methane doesn't build up...tested on Mythbusters! Had to be arson, and you can bet there will be a sh*tstorm over it...

All because of corporate greed. The items were full of political promises.
