A Fresno man wanted to kill black widow spiders in his parents’ home Tuesday night. So, he got a blowtorch.
He was housesitting for his parents when he took out the torch, lit it, and started a housefire while going after the spiders.
Firefighters say he made it out safely. No word on how the spiders faired.
More than two dozen firefighters responded to douse the blaze. It damaged the second-story and attic.
