Middlesex Township (KDKA) November 21, 2013 11:14 AM

As Officer Pfeifer describes it, the solution sounds like it came from a detective story.

“The sun came through the snowglobe, magnified it enough, and caught the straw hat on fire,” he said.

The globe acted like a magnifying glass focusing the sun’s rays, and the straw hat was fuel for a fire.

“That’s what we’re coming up with. Nobody was in that room for four hours,” says Assistant Fire Chief Glenn Pfeifer.

“We were sitting down there having a tea party,” says Crystal.

Then, the smoke detector went off.

Crystal found her youngest daughter’s bedroom fully engulfed.

“These blackened walls used to be bright yellow,” she said. “It melted all the hangers in her closet.”

Officer Pfeifer grabbed the kitchen extinguisher, but the heat and flames were too much. He did notice that the hottest spot was atop Olivia’s dresser

After another first responder and the Middlesex Township volunteer firefighters got the fire out, they began looking for a cause. That led back to the dresser and the charred remains of a snowglobe and a straw hat.

“It’s gotta be the snow globe,” says Crystal. “There was nothing else in here plugged in.”

Strange it may be, but all got out safely, including the family’s pet Bearded Dragon, belonging to one of the Yosts’ 10-year-old twin daughters. It’s one for the family memory books.

“The Lord was looking out for us,” said Crystal.
