CoastalWx Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I just love anything that causes havoc or excitement. I love seeing areas have crazy things happen to them out of the ordinary whether it be weather, or other events. Crazy events bring out the best in communities too IMO. I saw a fire in Hyde Park years ago. I thought it was pretty cool at the time as I was only 12, but then they pulled out 3 little kids. All dead. After that, I'm all set.

Crazy stuff. I read humped an indian and stopped reading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All dead. After that, I'm all set. Yea horrible just imagine being the ones who pulled them out. My first active fire when I was in the Westerly RI FD as a volunteer was when I was 21, 4 kids in a K-Car that exploded on impact. My last before I went into management was a 6 month old in a crib. It never leaves you and all the Kudos to those who do it 24/7.The higher humidity today and active rounds of showers should quickly end any more fire danger threats after today.

Got to like troughy nature next couple of weeks to give us rounds of precip and less Sahara DP's like yesterday. Spring brush fires happen every single year even in wet ones, last year was calm in comparison, this year is active. They are not whole Forest fires though, brush and debris, good for nature. Look at SW of Denver for real fires that destroy homes etc, ours are nuisance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
