Stupid neighbours

wow im glad you are ok. dry grass fires can take off and get out of control in seconds. you are lucky lucky lucky,

as far as your neighbors go, someone does it every year. i have not yet heard of anyone losing any fingers this year, but its still early and the 4th aint over yet

 

Geez, you are lucky it wasn't worse. I'm glad you and your home are ok.

The morons are out in full force here in Los Angeles. It sounds like a freaking war zone around my house. It has been so bad that my dog fell out of a second story window trying to get away from the sound. A $100 later, the vet says he's ok, nary a scratch, but he's now tranquilized until the morons deplete their stash and return under the rocks from whence they came.

 

oh gee... knew i should have watched the local news first before saying anything... a young woman was hit in the eye with an illegal firework last night in Marysville.

dont know what happened to her but hope she is ok and a bit wiser now

 

Wolfie glad to hear that's all the damage you had. You betcha they'll pay. A copy of the fire dept report along with a mailed bill for the damages and any dumbass will realize they are on the edge of a court case. The best is no real damage to your buildings. The other thing is to wait till the wind shifts the other way and do a back burn!

I wish I could do that back burn. Unfortunately, the wind won't be shifting from the southeast untill October, when the first of the real "cold fronts" moves in. By that time, all of that wonderful black fertilizer will have done it's magic. :crazyeyes:

If there's one bright side to this, 2/3 of the fenced inner back yard, no longer needs to be mowed. :mrgreen:

well I guess you could consider that the bright spot of the incident!

 

Wolfy:

Human Nature being what it is, I can guarantee that even if you had several thousand acres, and had your house right smack-dab in the middle with plenty of empty pasture all around, some idiot neighbor would still pull a stunt like that.

And I bet that even if you had the Starship Enterprise parked in your back yard, it wouldn't be any better on a different planet either. Unless the local law on that different planet encourages property owners to use their phaser to vaporize bad neighbors.

As time goes on, I've come to realize the Universe appears to work in odd ways.

Yea a dumb move, glad you are OK., these morons could have done real damage. Send them the bills and don't go light on them. Hate that stuff and have to put up with it all the time, the teens love to shoot bottle rockets in the street and at parked cars, they think it is fun.

 

If they want to see real fireworks, let them join the Army or Marines...Navy too, I had some pretty good light shows.

:lolup: You are correct!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

 

I'm pretty sure that in my state it got passed that if a person causes a forest or brush fire from an illegal event, or even from foolhardiness, they can get billed from the local municipality for the total cost of putting the fire out. The use of the truck, gas to get there, and wages of the crew that put it out.

Of course, due to the nature of forest fires, this could be difficult to enforce, but it looks like there is a case in your case. If you had such a local ordinance.
