Blame it on the festivalfarians.
Maybe… But I blame it on whoever drags chains and/or throws lit cigarettes out the window
I agree with that comment. Some morons even park their vehicles in dry grass which can catch fire from the catalytic converter. You just can’t fix stupid!
Lol!
So, ah, where are you doing it these days? Maybe share a schedule…
Guess we cant “blame it on the rain” now can we?
What would our world be without at least one finger pointer in the bunch, thanks for your contribution today Bramski, lol.
Must’a been a hot mail ?
Vape pens an exploding
Is that kid that lit all the fires last year out yet…[edit]..lil turd.
He’s out. Pled guilty. Five years probation in December 2018. Must not possess ignition devices. Charles Kirk
Thanks
If memory serves me last year he was driving a copper colored Izuzu Trooper when he set those fires. Seems the courts don’t take arson very seriously.
He also got a 17 year suspended sentence.
Um, sorry but you are wrong. Charles(Charlie) Kirk has been gone for many years. You need to make sure you know who you are talking about before you say anything.
Oh thank goodness!! What would we do without our wonderful firefighters and all responders! Thank you all so much!!
Firefighters are true badass heroes and community servants.. They should be paid waaaaaay more than cops who get what… 50 to 80 gs a year?
I definately think that guy from.last year should be checked into ..he knew what he was doing and the one he lit was right by his familys home and they were freaking out and didnt know what to do who does that to their own family and at the time had no idea it was him ..cause yeah he served no time
Is Dylan out or is he still in jail? I thought I saw him one day last week, but maybe it was just someone who looked like him- didn’t get a close look.
There’s also the guy who lit the Gasquet fires and other fires who they let out 3 days after being arrested.
