We have an idiot here who finally learned their lesson. This family was notorious for ignoring burn bans and high winds. They would burn their trash on the worst days. Rural fire dept. was called out repeatedly to save their property/house (they were called out 5 times in just one month for this same family), that gets old quick with a volunteer fire department. Long story short about 18 months ago, once again they ignored the burn ban and high winds that day. Started burning their trash, the fire got away from them. It missed their house, burned the vehicles, jumped the road burned a hay field and the barn where they had all of their hay for winter feeding stored. The fire was started on Thursday and Sunday afternoon the barn was still smoldering. The good news was that no one was hurt and all of the property damage was theirs. Fire dept. hasn't been called out to their place since.
