Pre-dawn fire at Jason Arnott’s house

From this morning’s Tennessean:
An outdoor cooking area at the home of Predators center Jason Arnott in Brentwood apparently caught fire and damaged the house this morning, an official said.
When a smoke detector went off, Arnott looked outside and saw the blaze around the grill area, Brentwood Fire Chief Kenny Lane said. The fire department got the call around 3:30 a.m.
Surprisingly, so far there’s been no word out of the Toronto media as to how this will accelerate the team’s relocation to Hamilton.
Preds prospect Ryan Jones is currently staying at Arnott’s house and shared his perspective as well:
“I didn’t realize the extent of fire until we got outside and you could see the sparks coming over the top,” Jones said. “Police and firefighters showed up. It was quite the morning.”

Fires happen more down here, so moving them to Canada would prevent the fires. Sounds like something they would say.

It’s too cold in Canada to cook outside, so there isn’t the potential for fires from outdoor cooking areas, and fewer fires means fewer hazards for firefighters. 
Although I’m betting some of them have already jettisoned any attempt at logic and just want the team to move north.
I’m glad no one was hurt.

Also glad he had fresh batteries in his smoke detector!
