MILTON - A family with four young boys lost their home Sunday after dozens of firefighters battling icy conditions couldn't beat the blaze.

The father of the family was repairing a snowmobile in the attached garage of the two-story house on Old Route 29 when gasoline leaked and caused a nearby space heater to catch fire. The parents and their four sons ranging in age from 3 to 11 made it out of the house before the flames spread.

It's a shame, but common sense isn't always so common.

I hate dealing with gasoline be it accidental spills or leak fixes. I keep thinking all it takes is a spark and you won't get away from the fireball fast enough.
