A new plumber is believed to have burnt down a $10 million seaside mansion on his first day at work.
More than 60 firefighters were called to the fire when the accident happened.
The expensive home is owned by Andrew Brownsword - famous for his business with greeting cards.
Workers at the place wanted to keep the name of their plumber colleague a secret. But neighbors think the fire was accidentally started by a 17-year-old new plumber.
John Howes, of Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service, said the plumber was working for a plumbing company and was "very upset".
He said: "It seems that this was an unlucky plumber who was working in the roof space of a large building."
One neighbour said: "I heard it was started by a teenager on his first day. You have to feel sorry for the poor boy. He must feel terrible."
