wow, what a day. Had a grass fire here on the ranch and the flames got 20 feet from the Mopar barn. I was out there trying to fight it all with the garden hose when the pumper trucks and the fire chief showed up . Found out the cause was two live wires dangling on the adjacent tractor shed blowing around in the wind. apparently hanging there live for years and just the right conditions of dry grass and heavy winds to make them cross and throw sparks . I was alerted by thirty screaming cows all bellering it up, all upset. I came outside to see what all the commotion was and " what the f.......Oh geeez". somebody down the road must have called it in, i was mighty glad to see those guys. The tractor barn got a corner burned out of it , and lots of scorched earth. and to think I decided to not go in to work today, Had I gone the whole place would have burned . My Mopars live on to fight another day. And lets not forget to be grateful for fire fighters , we talk about veterans a lot, but often overlook those guys. neal zimmerman, eugene oregon
