From School Bus to Matzos Oven for Passover

Police found a school bus that had been converted into a oven to bake matzo bread after a neighbor complained of smelling smoke. Rabbi Aaron Winternitz converted the old school bus into an oven including a smoke stack, exhaust fans, and a working fire. He was working on baking 100 pounds of matzos for his congregation during Passover week. The bus was attached to the back of the house with gas lines running from the house to the bus.

Surprisingly the police found the fire to be properly contained and that the "oven" was not very hazardous. The only problem, the police explained was that: "There's a gas line that has not been inspected and the bus has been attached to the house in a totally illegal way." Because there is a proper way to attach a school bus to a house??
