No persons or felines harmed. Nor purportedly furniture. I fear for the floorboards.

Did they at least get a visit from some firemen?

@Catfish @RustyRaven Oh dear.

By any chance, did this otherwise smart person have a few drinks before deciding that bringing the portable firepit inside was a good idea?

[โ€“] Catfish@aussie.zone 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Nope. It was an intentional plan & new purchase. The cunning part lacking.

@Catfish Okay, so you have to tell us the full story.

What possessed your friend to do this? Why did they think an indoor fire without a chimney was a good idea?

My knowledge is limited. They are being deliberately oblique about just how bad it got. However they have been soundly told off by many, many people.
