I'm guessing this person will "BRAG" at a watering hole, and a good citizen will call. I could not belive this when I saw it. Call me, any help I can give.

I don't know what leads people to do these types of things. Fell real bad for the ones that lost what they worked so hard for. I really hope they catch them.

I did see on the news someone had their cabin setup so no trees or tall gras was withing 30 feet of their cabin and they had sprinklers on top of the cabin. They didn't loose theirs, just a little melting on their siding. Anyone heard of this before, they had a name for it, just can't remember.

What you are talking about is called the Firewise programs. It shows you how to take care of your property to survive if a wild fire comes by.

Heres's the DNR link.

That is just upsetting. There were 3-4 houses that got burnt down... my folks live within a mile of pine lake, and they told me that there were footsteps in the snow leading to the burnt houses. It scared my mom big time. What kind of !@#$R#$ would do that. I hope those b@$t@r&s hang.
