Wild Fires Are Dangerous

It has been extremely dry in eastern Tennessee and during this time of year it is not good to be so dry especially with the fall leaves that are falling that are also very dry.  Anything can spark a wild fire from farm tractors to flat tires and sparks setting fire when pulling over to stupidity like throwing a lite cigarette out a car window.  Eastern Tennessee has been fighting wild fires for about a week and as of Monday night they have finally contained the Netty Mountain fire 100%.  With fires burning all over the county you would think the residents would be aware of it and be more carful but no, that was not the case just down the road from the farm.  Some idiot threw his cigarette out the car window that just happened to fall in a bunch of dead leave and started a wild fire.  George and Travis went to help put it out with some other neighbors but they could not get it under control.  Thankfully the Parrottsville Fire rescue got to the fire within 10 minutes of it's discovery and put the fire out.  The fire on Netty mountain was terrible but the wild fire close to home was too close for comfort.
