fires

So I don't take over Gresham's post.....just ranting now.
Just got done w/ watching a fire crew put out a fire directly behind my house. Torched a good section of vegetation, started around 1am we're guessing. Came darn close to crossing over the fence/property line. While the fire crew was here, noticed a trash can up the way that was on fire. Saturday ~10pm a similar fire was started a few houses down behind the homes. (directly behind our homes is a greenbelt/bike path with nice vegetation growing next to it). 3-4 weeks ago a smaller fire was started right next to where Saturday's fire was. Also accompanied by a trash can on fire. I mean....WTF man. What are people up to nowadays. Thank god for my dog barking otherwise would've never known the fire was going til it was too late.

Thank goodness it's not October!
Sounds like you have a pyromaniac in the hood!

there's a load of difference between a pyromaniac and an arsonist

And I suspect given it's Spring Break for some, it's a kid that will be caught with a lighter. We had a ton of kids get nabbed while I was growing up.

I played with matches and burned a field down in preschool. Never did that again.
