Fire Across the road

Wow!What a day.

Road my bicycle to town and back today.Picked up a few pop cans along the way.Got home and seen Tracie in the pool so i joined her.It was COLD at first but after i got wet it wasn't too bad.Ate our Supper and i heard a call over the scanner about a fire and the address sounded familiar, a second or 2 later it dawned to me that it's right across the road from me.I 1st ran out with my shorts and tennis shoes on.I grabbed my shovel and figured i better put some pants on.(glad i did)Didn't know this fat boy could run but i did it.

I started digging holes and throwing the dirt on the fire then a guy started walking towards me,i thought i might have to club him with my shovel,not too sure what he said at 1st,I thought he said something about his property was on fire DUH and that he call the fire department and then he had the BALLS to asked if i had another shovel and i said yes at home. Duh where else would it be.Then he talked to Tracie a little then he was gone.He didn't lift a had to help,the A-hole didn't help at all. I put out a few hundred feet of flames until the fire department got there and within a couple minutes it was out except for a few hot spots.

When the guy approached me i was trying to put the fire out by a cabin/shack(2nd time i saved that place,this happened a few years ago)I did manage to put the fire out bu the cabin/shack and stopped a brush pile from starting up on fire.

It's been over an hour,i think the Fire Department left but the DNR is still there.

Holy crap! You're going to have to start hitting your neighbors over the head with that shovel or they will have you burned out of there!
