I want to give a shout out and big thanks to our volunteer fire departments and the firefighters for what they do. We take them for granted until we need them.
My experience from Friday afternoon was a person pulling a trailer full of gravel (heavily overloaded) had a wheel bearing go out and the tire caught fire, this set the grass on the side of the road on fire and it spread into my pasture. The local VFD responded quickly with 5 trucks and was able to put out the fire before it got completely out of control. They put out the fire before it reached the houses and the damage was limited to just a few acres and one cut fence.
I urge you to make a contribution to your local volunteer fire department as they operate mostly on donations.
