I went to a town board meeting in my small town two months ago. I ask them to start have the countys recycle trailer that we already pay taxes on come to are town. They lied, made excuses said anything they could about why it is a bad idea. I told them then someone was going to burn a house down with illegal burning they more less said it was a god given right to burn what ever someone wanted to burn.

Paged at 12:02 yesterday for a garage fire I was already on station arrived 5 minutes later to find a garage with a car in it fully involved, A van in the drive fully involved, one house well involved and heat damage to the house next door. A Iraq war vet had been driving by and stopped and  went in and got the 90 year old homeowner and the home health aid out before the back of the house flashed over less than a minute later. Sorry to say the homeowners little house dog did not survive.

Upon investigation it was found the home health aid had set a fire in a burn barrel in the back yard and left it unattended. It had caught the dry grass and leaves on fire and you know where it went.

After two hours we had it all the way out and kept it where we found it, But alot was lost in the few minutes before arrival. It had been burning along time before being called in.

All I can say to the town board is '' I told you so!!" feel proud and stand on your beliefs you will kill someone yet!
