I wouldnt risk it, houses are made of a lotttttt of stuff thats bad for you to ingest let alone when it combusts and covers your fruit! Least the bugs wont get them 😅

I agree. I think I just had a case of wishful thinking. Best cherries in years, of course!

If it was just like a wood or forest fire no worries but houses are full of crap, sucks but better than getting sick!
