there's already 4 major fires around the town on sunday, with one large neighborhood off lake austin burned to the ground, a couple highways shut down, and some genius decides to play with some fireworks north of town and set off this yesterday morning:

If you have Briskets, hang them from the gutters.

Lemons, lemonade, etc.

Should be getting better today. Much less wind and at least 10 degrees cooler. :thumbup:

2 brushfires yesterday a couple miles from home, buddy's apt complex lit up apparently but he's fine, and this morning the entire damn city's engulfed in a smokey haze.

Wow, that looks like Denver in 2002 with the Hayden fire, only worse. I heard on the radio that arson is suspected for several of the fires.

Yeah, I was in Denver a few years ago, pretty sure it was after '02, and there was a pretty big fire easily seen from downtown. All I recall, it was 100+ for several days, kids, fireworks again the cause...parents said they were sorry.:shakehead

He added that it appears to have started near FM 1093.

Probably some idiot tossing a butt out the window. :mad:

The fire was reported to HFD at 3:17 p.m. When the first engine arrived nine minutes later, firefighters found a rapidly spreading grass fire that appeared to have started near a roadway. Commanders at the scene were concerned about nearby neighborhoods - principally Kings-land Estates, Windsor Park Lakes, Windsor Park Estates and Heatherwood Park - that potentially lay in the path of the fire if the wind began to blow from the south.



yep. f***ing smokers.

Not that this compares but I was awakened a couple of nights ago by the smell of smoke then my eyes began to sting. I checked outside, listened for sirens...nothing. Morning saw the landscape partially obscured with smoke...originating 400 miles away in the Boundry Waters area of Minnesota! Started by lightning on Aug. 18th. Been a rough summer!
