No need to emphasize the word woman, or even to mention it, really. We all knew.

I sent it to my daughters. Told them to call Orkin before doing this.

When I read the title, I thought it was going to be another bug bomb meets pilot light story. It would never occur to me to set towels on fire to kill a spider. I wonder how she would go about getting rid of a large cockroach?

Not seeing an issue here. If one less spider crawls the earth, it was worth it.

to put out the inferno.

Firefighters were able to bring the fire under control within a matter of minutes.

Doesn't sound like much of an "inferno".

Gives the phrase “kill it with fire” a whole new meaning.

%%
The itsy-bitsy spider
Climbed up the water spout
House up in flames
To smoke the spider out.
When out came the sun
Alas, ‘twas all in vain-
For the itsy-bitsy spider
Climbed up the spout again...
%%

Watch out, you might get what you’re after
Cool baby, strange but not a stranger
I’m an ordinary guy
Burning down the house

Hold tight, wait ‘til the party’s over
Hold tight, we’re in for nasty weather
There has got to be a way
Burning down the house

Here’s your ticket, pack your bags
Time for jumpin’ overboard
Transportation is here
Close enough but not too far,
Maybe you know where you are
Fightin’ fire with fire, huah

All wet, hey you might need a raincoat
Shakedown, dreams walking in broad daylight
Three hundred, sixty five degrees
Burning down the house

It was once upon a place sometimes, I listen to myself
Gonna come in first place
People on their way to work say baby what did you expect
Gonna burst into flame
Go ahead

Burning down the house
My house, is out of the ordinary
That’s right, don’t want to hurt nobody
Some things, sure can sweep me off my feet
Burning down the house

No visible means of support and you have not seen nothin’ yet
Everything’s stuck together
I don’t know what you expect staring into the TV set
Fightin’ fire with fire, huah

Yea
Burning down the house
Burning down the house
Burning down the house

“........multiple other points where the fire may have been started.......”
“........smouldering clothes........”

I am starting to wonder if there really was a spider after all. Perhaps the woman just had a case of the heebee jeebee’s.

Oh, what a tangled web we weave.......... From Charlotte’s Web to Shelob’s Lair to the Spiders From Mars..........
Maybe she brought them in on her clothes and things escalated. Maybe she hallucinated them.
Anyway, it’s a shame about the house burning.
