Fireworks cause two Farmington fires Brush fire cuts fireworks celebration short Fargo fire dpet Fireworks pose early problem Just a few of the no doubt hundreds of fires this year alone. |

A lost hunter lit a campfire that eventually caused a fire than burned over 200,000 acres, 200 houses and killed 21 persons in San Diego County. Should we consider throwing some birdshot his way? What's your point? As a firefighter I responded to more fires caused by Christmas Trees than Fireworks. Perhaps you'll call the Police on your neighbors for too much tinsel!!! Man up. You were in the wrong, but can't admit it. |
He shot off a signal flare because he was lost. Fire jumped the 15 freeway about 2 miles south of my apartment. Some fuck head was packing his car, blocking me from my garage so I had to ass out of there on my motorcycle. Wish my roomate would've been there, would've rocked his car back and forth to break his e-brake. |

Since i've been working at the police/fire dispatch center - 3 years now. County of ~250K. Not one fire caused by Christmas Trees. This year alone, 3 houses burned - several fields, and 2 garages. Last year we had an apartment complex burn down due to fireworks. I guess shit happens. |

Not only did I get called to three or four of those brush fires, But i actually started one. I was at my girlfriends house out in the booonies. Her,myself and her 5yr old brother were in the street. I gave him a small smokebomb. You know those little colored smoke balls that last for all of 10 seconds. he through it in some tall grass which was very very dry.  I told him not to do that anymore as it could start a fire. Then I feel a tap on the shoulder and my gf is pointing at the direction where he through it. yep......it was on fire. I put it out myself no need to call the rest of the guys out . By the way I need newboots.....mine are burnt up now.

Maby in you're part of the world, but we respond to way more fireworks related fires than Christmas Tree related fires. In fact I've never seen a fire that started with/from/by a Christmas Tree but have been on 15-20 fireworks related fires so far this year & we are just starting to dry out. |
