A GUITAR WAS HANGING FROM THE WALL AND THE STRAP FROM THE GUITAR CAUGHT FIRE FROM A CANDLE JUST BELOW THE GUITAR.OCCUPANT STATED HE WAS USING TWO DIFFERENT CANDLES IN THE BEDROOM AREA. AS I ENTERED THE UNIT I FOUND CLOTHES, TRASH, DEBRIS AND PERSONAL ITEMS COVERING THE COUCHES CHAIRS AND FURNTITURE THRU OUT THE HOUSE . THE KITCHEN WAS NOT USABLE BECAUSE OF ALL THE STUFF ONTOP OF THE COUNTER TOPS AND I COULD NOT SEE THE SINK. BECAUSE OF ALL THE DEBRIS.
