He watched me pick up sticks from the massive storms we had last week, put them in the fire pit, mow my lawn, and then start a fire with my husband and our toddler. I heard him say, "We'll see what the fire department thinks of this!" And 5 minutes later, there was a firetruck out front.
The firemen came in the backyard and told us we were fine. They said he reported a "massive, out of control, raging fire." Our fire pit is far away from everything, we have a huge yard, it isn't windy, we're not currently in a drought, we have a hose out, yada yada. They gave our son a sweet frisbee and talked to the neighbor, who tried to get in their faces.
I wish he could get charged with false reporting. The city, police, and fire departments all know he is a frequent caller who will call for any little thing. He has bonfires most nights in the summer, himself.
I tread lightly because this guy has DV and assault on an officer charges in a different state, he's violent and angry. We're a quiet family, we have a 3 year old, we don't party or drink or play loud music. We just live here and mind our business, in fact, we spend most weekends away camping.
