🚨 Arson at My Home — Please Help Us Find Who Did It

on July 22, 2025 July 31, 2025 by Michael Brodkorb

The explosion and ensuing fire destroyed the can, damaged our driveway, and burned my lawn. My family is safe, but shaken. I’m declining at this time to speculate on a possible motive publicly, but let me be very clear: this was a targeted explosion and fire at my home. This was arson.
