Don't Start A Fire When The Wind Blows

Yesterday, the neighbor to 45 Pines decided to burn some trash in the corner of her property. Unfortunately, it was a really windy day and the wind picked up some of her fire and blew it into the corner of 45 Pines where a nice brush pile was sitting happily. The neighbor realized that the brush pile was on fire and so was the fence that borders 45 Pines. She had no hose that would reach the pile so she ran to get some buckets. Did she really think that would work? OMG!!!!! Fortunately, the neighbor behind her saw the fire and ran for his hose which would reach. V just happened to look out the kitchen window and saw the billowing smoke and went to check it out. She worked with the other two to break down the pile to put the smoldering fire out for about half an hour. Thankfully, the fire didn't get the pine tree that sits right next to the brush pile...that would have ended very tragically for the rest of the pines that line the backyard. The old homestead would've had to have been renamed to Charred and Burned Pines. The burned fence rails and posts will be replaced courtesy of the neighbor who learned a valuable lesson...(see title to this post).
