Narrative

We believe an ember came out of an electric toilet and came to rest against the bottom left corner of a wooden stopping 44 ft away. We believe that the ember was from a rag instead of the supplied paper toilet paper. The stopping began to burn and was discovered in the early stage. The location was on its own vent split and went directly into the returns, not endangering anyone.
