True Genius

I went out to work in my yard this morning, and the neighbors, two houses down, were out too.

See, where we live is semi-rural, and it's legal to do open burning. So, a lot of people burn yard waste. But it's not legal to do it before 4pm. (This was about 8am.)

And they've got a freakin' bonfire going.

OK, a technical violation only. I've burned leaves in my driveway at times that barely skirted the 4pm rule. But, they've got two more strikes against them.
1) They use propane and their 250 gallon storage tank is only about 10 yards from the fire.
2) As you can see in the picture, their house backs onto a gas station, so this fire is only about 30 or 40 yards from the gas pumps and storage tanks.

Hey, doofus, I don't mind if you blow yourself up, but leave me out of this.

I called the sheriff. They had the fire department come give them a little talk.

I can't imagine what they were thinking.
