What an adventure last night. I look out my window when I hear sirens and see two fire trucks going down my parents' driveway. I jumped in my truck and followed.
My dad had been burning stuff behind our barn. Our county is currently under a burn ban, by the way. Don't ask me why he just had to burn stuff in the dryest month of the entire year.
Anyhow, the fire escaped, burned up our winter wood pile, caught the motorhome shed and the barn on fire, and started moving into the woods. Fortunately, the barn and shed only suffered minor damage (at least, it looks that way at this point), and Dad didn't lose any of the tons of equipment he has stored in the barn.
The horses were smart and stayed out to pasture instead of being their normal nosy selves. Probably the noise was too much for them.
I'll have to go down this afternoon and see the damage in daylight. I hope that man learned a little lesson. But I doubt it. Why on earth would he go off and leave somethign burning that close to the barn? He does it all the time, and this time it caught up with him.
