We had some excitement here late yesterday
afternoon.....

The mulch pile (mountain) caught on fire........
Mulch which consist of chicken poop and sawdust and
whatever else.....
Lucky they were right there when it happened




They set up a "pond" out front and 6 plus tankers
filled it up while the pumper truck what through
the hose.......... it was one long hose......
I took the picture just above the rooster's head....







The hose going to the back.....
The ambulances in the back...... one was a Axillary which
had two women passing out drinks and such
You can see the top of the mulch mountain...... it steams
all winter



Here Dave is using the end loader to haul the stuff out and
then the firemen would spray it.......







Then at the end when they got all that was ignited put
out they sprayed it all from the ladder truck
It started when they took a load out and oxygen got
to it and boom....... glad they were right there and it
didn't start in the night




Taken from the kitchen window..........
Dan took more pictures in the back to show Joseph
because he didn't want to take him back there
