A Fireman's Warning

Anyone who thinks that burning pine needles and pine cones in a pile next to your garage is a good idea, raise your hand...?

Didn't think so.

Let me explain...Daryl was cleaning up the yard/tree debris and thought, "There is a lot of stuff here. What if I just burn it?" What's a little pile, eh? So, he's enjoying the small, very in-control burn then put water on it to put out the flames. NOW comes the smoke !

And so do the fire trucks...ALL THREE!!

Apparently, someone called the fire department and said there was a basement on fire. So, they are driving around looking for a smoking basement and found Daryl and a pile of muddy ashes. He said they talked with him about where appropriate places to burn are (none on our property, including our exsisting fire pit -- oops!). He didn't get a ticket or anything, yet. It may come in the mail.

Had I been home at the time, there would have been a picture. Shoot. Ode to Sandy City Fire Department for being "Safer than Sorry." Too hard to be mad at that (no harm to the garage either, by the way).

That sounds like something my husband would do.

That sounds like something my dear Jamus might do as well. Of course, it might also be something that might come out a little in my own pyro-blood...
