sadly, the worst part is, the original fires were arson. we had a trio of fires last week, that were natural (wind picked up before a small band of thunderstroms and knocked over 3 differnt sets of poles and started 3 differnt fires) - But the ones that are really getting out of control are arson.
I am just sick- Its one thing to loose your home, even your pets, but its another when a 5 year old little girl looses her daddy. not to mention, all the fire departments that are figting these blazes are volunteer- we dont have a single paid dept. PERIOD. they leave work, they fight these fires all day and night, they go to work tired, if they can even go at all, they dont see their families and sometimes they are fighting the fires in their own backyards. literly.
Sorry to be so depressing. I went to get in my husbands truck today- and there was a box of cigarettes. A nice white box of marlboro light 100's. just sitting there. I am so disapointed. my first thought was "WHO THE HELL has been smoking in HERE?" then, I realized they were mine- I actually picked it up and thought "WOW- I cant believe these are in here!" and opened it up. Come to find out, its an empty pack I had used about a year ago to put a relay in that I went to a junk yard and bought for his truck that we had never put on. He just left it in that pack and in the console. LOL
But the fact that I was willing to smoke them is not good.
