It's the triple axel of epic fails. Canadian figure skating champion Kurt Browning set his Toronto mansion on fire yesterday trying to dry the seats of his Porsche with a leaf blower.
According to The Toronto Star, the blaze in the tiny Forest Hill-area brought out 80 firefighters and at least 10 fire trucks.
Reportedly, Browning had left the blower unattended in the mansion’s garage, which he was using to dry the convertible's seats after they'd gotten wet in the rain. He, one of his children and a painter were in the house when the fire started, but escaped safely.
Damage to the mansion has been called "extensive." Firefighter told the newspaper: "Nobody will be living in this house for a period of time.”

<--- wondering how the leaf blower set the fire? Just says he left it unattended in his garage. They don't self destruct, at least in the US they don't smile.gif

i think heat would help more then just air tho...
i woulda paid to have it dried with that much money, lmao
