I know most of our members are further south, but if you live or have friends/family near Arlington, be aware that a brush fire ignited maybe an hour or 2 ago outside of town and has consumed about 6 acres at this point. DNR says it's moving into the nearby timber and SCSO is already warning nearby residents to be ready to evacuate. The fire is a bit northeast of the junction of Arlington Heights Rd and Jordan Rd. If you're near Maranatha Way, you might be affected.

No it's not.

I have that shit piped right to my house.

No need for it to fall out of the sky.

That lovely record breaking rainy winter you miss so much is what is responsible for all the now dried fuel that grew up.

That lovely record breaking rainy water all winter is also the reason why we haven't been required to limit our water usage due to a drought either. thumbsup

betting it was kids and firecrackers again, kind of an awkward spot to start
