Um, without a backstory this is a really terrible post. I guess I'm supposed to assume that you started a campfire and your neighbors called the fire department?

We have this little portable firepit in our driveway.

just about every Friday night, the neighbors (on our street) and ourselves are out have a few beers and good conversation.

last night, someone behind us call the the FD for some reason

the guys driving the truck and the chief were laughing as soon as they pulled up.

Unfortunately I have neighbors like that. They are basically just a bunch of inbred hillbillies. They are the reason I can't have a dog or burn trash in the back yard. They complain about everything, and before you know it, the FD, EMT, and Sheriff have showed up. everytime they get a hangnail or heartburn, they dial 911.

If I didn't know/like their landlord, I would likely blow their house up in the middle of the night.

In reply to Grtechguy:

funny, if it had been about the time you put the fire out, you could have used the high pressure jets. That would have been fun...albeit messy.

I had neighbors (lived about a half mile away) who burned trash in their yard and it would rain burned plastic all over everything (my house, cars, patio furniure) and smelled berkeleying horrible. Fortunately they have moved on to torture people somewhere else with that crap.

Certainly I would not care if they had a campfire or burned yard debris, we do that also.

place next to me gets re-rented about every 6 months.. so I have had 4 sets of neighbors in the last 2 years.. I do not have an opinion on the newest set (they have been here less than a week.. but I think they work more than I do, I never see them) but the last three have gone from bad to worse with each succeeding generation

I live in a neighborhood filled with hillbillies. They burn garbage ALL the time. It smells awesome.
