My mother and I were discussing how stupid it was that my dad burned leaves last night when they have said don't burn because it was too dry.
Well as we were talking she was notified that there was a fire near their place at the lake (across the street from where dad burned last night). They had poured lots of water on the burn pile. It turns out that it wasn't that, probably a cigarette thrown out the window of a passing car. It burned up their fence, some things next to the guest house and singed the guest house wall a little. But, luckily, it didn't damage any thing else.
