I don't think burning it would be such a good idea as it wouldn't insure the detonation of all explosives. Not saying it wouldn't or couldn't, but it isn't a definate. I would think an EOD team could set up a controlled blast to demo the ordinance and house. Of course, most of our controlled dets out here are in a small crater, but dirt berms could be built around the impact area. It's really not a big deal. It's something that happens on almost a daily basis out here.

ESCONDIDO, Calif. -- One woman in Escondido said her life has been turned upside down since authorities discovered George Jakubec's dangerous house on Nov. 18.
Jill Knipp lives right in front of Jakubec's rental house. With plans to burn it down in just a few days, Knipp said she is not taking any chances.
On Saturday morning, movers taped up her valuables. Books and other belongings were put away in boxes and everything was packed up in a huge van to eventually sit in storage
"I'm taking 100 percent of the contents," Knipp said.
Knipp isn't really moving out and she's not selling her house, but she's one of the few who has been evacuated since Nov. 18 because of her neighbor, George Jakubec.
Jakubec faces federal changes after investigators found numerous bomb making materials in his house last month, including the highly explosive HMTD. Investigators said they found the largest stash of homemade explosives ever found in a United States home.
"I feel like having lived next door to that, not knowing what was there, any moment could have been blown up completely... it took awhile for that to sink in," Knipp said.
Now, authorities will burn the home down next week although the date has not yet been finalized. Workers built a wall that is 16 feet high to separate Jakubec's house from his neighbors. Knipp, who has lived at her home for 19 years, is confident that the wall will protect her property, but said anything could happen when that fireball erupts.
"It is what it is," Knipp sad. "I deal with it and hopefully when we come out the other side, everything will be back to normal."
Knipp has been living with a friend in Encinitas since her ordeal began. While moving is inconvenient, she said considers herself lucky.
"I feel really fortunate through this and grateful that I've had plenty of warning," Knipp said.
Knipp said her insurance will cover the entire cost if anything does get damaged but she is not sure when she will be able to move her belongings back into her house.
