In the wee hours of the morning, a houseboat on Westlake Ave caught fire, causing $11,000 worth of damage to the physical structure and the contents within. Reports indicate that it was accidental. Bad news for the owner, certainly, but even worse news for the charred, half-disintegrated couch. Word to the wise: just because you live on the water doesn't mean that you or your belongings are fireproof. [SW]
