Christmas lights ignite fire at Bruton Smith’s house
Quote selected text Published December 8th, 2007 in NASCAR News
Firefighters put out a small fire about 9 p.m. [Friday night] at the home of the Lowe’s Motor Speedway owner Bruton Smith. An electrical short in the wire of outdoor Christmas lights caused a spark that lit the shrubbery in front of Smith’s south Charlotte house, fire officials said. A passerby saw the flames and flagged down a police officer, who called firefighters.
Battalion Chief Tom Link said Smith was home at the time of the fire, but “he actually didn’t know (about the fire) until we tried to get to the door.”
