Tree fire caused by fireworks (July 4th) with Engine 35 arriving

[@jeffturkel3344]

Glad it wasn’t worse as the potential was definitely there. Down in Thurston County where my family is that had multiple brush fires that was fireworks caused. Also waiting to hear if the big wildfire in Shelton was fireworks caused-so far they are just saying it was “human” caused.

Yeah, it's been so dry - was very glad it didn't spread more. Thanks for watching Jeff!

[@lucaslaughing]

Yeah, looking back on it it's not surprising, especially for the 4th of July, but it was a first for me.

Crazy! The same thing happened to my grandma a few years ago when someone flicked a cigarette butt into a tree on her property. The tree fire was so big that the firefighters could see it from their station on a hill and the initial dispatch was for a structure fire... very lucky she didn't lose her house Actually the year before, a neighbor shot a firework into her bushes and started a brush fire with exposures

Yikes - sounds like your grandma has some bad luck (and some inconsiderate neighbors)!
