SO just a brief update. It's my week to clean. Takes 90 minutes to make it look impressive (clean microwave, oven, counter tops, sink, washroom, floors, etc.). I get home, I find this:

This is after the landlord issues a warning against this type of behavior. Does anyone know if this is a fire hazard? Additionally, this guy leaves it in my cup board. Sorry for my rant, but my patience has really run out.

Nevermind, it probably is now:

EDMONTON — Concern over recent condo fires led to Edmonton’s fire chief and Alberta Municipal Affairs announcing new measures Monday to fight fires caused by improperly disposed smoking materials.

“Fires caused by the improper disposal of smoking material are completely preventable, and yet are the cause of some of our city’s most dangerous and devastating fires,” said Fire Chief Ken Block.

“As we have seen, the actions of an individual can have a profound and permanent impact on residents, emergency services and our city at large.

In May, a cigarette butt put in a diaper container on a balcony sparked a massive condo fire in Clareview that caused more than $16 million in damage.

“If you are going to smoke, it must be disposed of in a proper receptacle.
“Let’s work harder to keep each other safe.”

Block – along with Jeremy Wagner, acting deputy fire commissioner with Alberta Municipal Affairs – announced they will pursue stricter enforcement of fire code regulations in apartments and condos. Officials will also look at other changes to help prevent similar fires.
