It’s always a little bit of a shock when, well after nightfall, you get a call from one of your neighbors telling you to “look out your window,” you do, and the house across the street is a raging inferno.
As it turns out this was a planned burn. The house was a dump; it hasn’t been lived in since before I moved out here in 2004. Still, it came as just a smidgen of a surprise. The wind was blowing like mad, sending smoke and embers across the street over my neighbors house. Fortunately the firefighters were right there (they had, after all, started the fire).
