If thousands of homes are going to burn in the process, you might as well break out the skewers and make a summertime classic. If sweets aren’t your thing you can have a weenie roast instead.  

2. Get Drunk

Why not celebrate your home being on fire with “the girl on fire.” Maybe after seeing the hot teen romance unfold onscreen you won’t feel the third-degree burns.  

4. Create a Sauna
