"In 2015, Aitabdel Salem, A 41-Year-Old From Queens, Spent 5 Months In Jail At Rikers Island, One Of The Country's Most Notorious Prisons, Not Knowing That His Bail Was Just $2"
"Salem was initially jailed on a $25,000 bail for allegedly attacking a police officer who was arresting him on charges of shoplifting on November 21, 2014.
Prosecutors for the case, however, failed to land an indictment, and a judge ordered Salem's release on November 28, 2014, just one week after his arrest.
Salem, however, still had to pay two $1 bail charges for two unrelated tampering and mischief charges.
The only problem: Salem didn't know just $2 could set him free. He remained in the overcrowded prison until May 2015."

Izzy,
Prissy is correct. The owners themselves recently noted that they had just done renovations which included a metal roof and reducing or eliminating brush next to the house (to guard against termites). The metal roof was the only one in the neighborhood. Everyone else had asphalt shingles, which can catch on fire. Other houses caught on fire as embers blew onto the roof or caught the brush next to their house on fire. Nothing magical here.
Be informed, not opinionated.
