Playing with fire
Three anonymous teenagers in Martinez, California were looking for some special fun, but they got a lot more notoriety than they ever wanted. They started by building a little fire in a back lot. Then they threw a tennis ball into the fire and when it started to burn they decided to hit it around with a baseball bat. One strike of the ball sent it into a patch of dried weeds and that started their claim to fame. The weeds fired up a house and the house incinerated a car and the car ignited a propane tank…The two alarm fire burned only one house and the large storage yard, but knocked out power to 8700 neighbors for a couple of hours. Some news videos (below) show an immense fireball rise from the main fire during the peak of the blaze. No one was injured. Con Fire praised the “swift and overwhelming response” that protected most of the area from more serious damage. The boys hopefully learned, fire and California don’t get along.
Getting fired up
An Irishman is pulled from a bar on fire. The firemen, in the interest of finding out the cause ask him, “What started the fire!?”The Irishman, covered on soot, shakes his head. “Beats me. It was already on fire when I went in.”
Saw this notice posted outside a volunteer fire company in December… “Remember to water your Christmas tree…”
…”or we will come and water it for you.”
If H2O is on the inside of a fire hydrant…What’s on the outside?
