Common Sense???

You would think that if you wanted to burn some leaves that you wouldn't do it if it were windy outside, right? Not our neighbor!! I looked outside this afternoon to a smoke filled sky. I thought that maybe he was burning leaves in a metal trash can or something, not the case. He had (in his words) "started a small fire (on the ground, not contained in anything) and then the wind blew". Seriously!?!?!? DUH! Sometimes I just don't understand people. Thankfully, he did have enough common sense to call the fire department who spent the next hour putting out the fire (that had moved just behind our property line and was making its way very quickly toward our house). Thank you Cross Plains Fire Department (why the Cross Plains FD?? We live in the White House city limits??) for your quick response to our neighbors ignorance.
