Pyro Attack

Sep 04, 2008 22:40

About a half hour before I was about to leave work, I got a call from my mom saying there was a small bush fire in the canyon. My parents backyard is right at the beginning of the canyon trails, so not good! Seems though someone got the fire dept out there in time to get it under control so no harm done, whew. Still scary though, and it's always a potential danger but they've never had a major problem in the 30+ yrs they've been there. My mom & I went with our neighbor to investigate a bit further the damage on the trail.. he had heard from the firemen that there were other fires as well and they suspected it was no accident. We did go up further to a clearing and saw another huge black spot where quite a few empty beer cans/bottles were nearby. So seems a bunch of lil pyro a-holes thought it would be fun to get drunk and set fires.. well ha ha, very funny motherf*ckers.. you could've burned the canyon and some homes down. *NICE*. It's probably the same thing that happened with the major forest fires we had recently in Cali.

Well we got lucky this time but with the hot dry season still around, it's very much a danger. Just happened it's not very windy out so that helped at least. The temps have gone way up around here again.. seems to happen more so towards the end of the week too. But tonight was so pleasant outside I had to take an evening dip in the pool. :>
