Another Win for Texas Plumbers: Austin Condo Complex Goes Up in Flames

A three-alarm fire burned down a condo complex in liberal-infested Austin, Texas, early Tuesday morning, and thanks to the heroic efforts of the Austin Fire Department, only material belongings were lost, with no reports of injuries or deaths.

The fire, which started sometime after 1:15 a.m., allegedly due to a plumber "sweating pipes" (whatever that means), quickly spread between the second and third floors of the Twelve Oaks condo complex, located at 704 W. 21st St. in the West Campus area.

Despite the left's incessant whining about "gun violence," it's ironic that a plumber's tools and skills caused this much damage without harming a soul. Maybe the libs will finally realize that pipes are the real danger and start pushing for "pipe control."

Twelve of the 18 condos were damaged by the fire, smoke, and water, displacing eight adults. These residents are now free from the shackles of homeownership and the 1/16th of an acre it entraps them with, and can now live the van life, free to roam across Texas' great expanse.

Kudos to the Austin Fire Department for their quick response and to the plumbers for their accidental pyrotechnics. It's a reminder that we don't need more government control but more freedom to let accidents like this happen without red tape getting in the way.
