Red Flag Warning? Neighbor Has Fire

Submitted ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world⁩ to ⁨mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world⁩

The only time my neighbor starts a fire in their back yard is when there is a red flag fire warning. We don’t have many of these warnings per year, like one or two. On these days, they have a fire without fail. Yeah, they’re a libertarian. Loves Rogan and Musk. Fucking dangerous, these people.

Call them in, every time, leave an anonymous tip. We’ve watched entire neighborhoods burn this year due to dry conditions. We’ve watched entire towns be wiped off the map.

Fuck this guy, call it in. Depends on your state I believe, but do a quick google search, probably on the site that has the red flag warning. He wants to do it so bad, he can pay the hefty fines.

  Missouri isn’t exactly on that level administratively. The warning only says burning is not advised.

    I’m not sure if that applies in your jurisdiction and situation. But I’d take a picture. If your neighborhood does burn down, you have proof that it was him.

    God I tried to look it up to see, god Missouri what the hell. “burning discouraged”. Yeah. That stopped maybe 5% of the population, back pats all around. I guess I’d recommend… hosing off your roof…

Yeah, I’ve got one of those selfish MAGA nuts living behind me. Dude lives in a house that was rebuild after a firestorm burned 95% of the neighborhood to the ground, and he lived here during that rebuilding period.

A few 4th of July’s ago he was firing illegal mortars off his balcony and shooting firearms into the air. He was doing this once an hour for 12 hours before the cops hauled him away.

I stupidly asked him to stop because of fire risk and the fact that our pets were going nuts. He proceeded to try to fight me while yelling about freedom and other stupid MAGA shit.

He lives on the top of the hill in our neighborhood. So if he starts a fire, his place is almost sure to go. Fire runs up. He’s a fucking moron.

Report the guy to the cops or fire department if you can. Have multiple neighbors do it.

    The good news is that this guy is probably going to self-destruct. He’s constantly getting in trouble with the law.

It’d be a pity if their homeowners insurance company received a date-stamped photo of their actions.

…just a pity.

Did you call the fire marshall?

I wouldn’t even want someone like that to get a fine from bylaw. They should get criminal charges for endangering everyone in that community.

People like that have no regard for human life.

Call the fire department on them. They do not fuck around and the police will back the fire dept.

First time I got to use a fire extinguisher was when a neighbor a few houses down the street thought it was a good idea to burn moss in his driveway with a blowtorch after it hadn’t rained in weeks.

That was the second time that neighbor’s neighbor’s hedge caught fire. He then replaced it with a fence.

    There is too little information in that comment for me to be able to provide a meaningful response with the given context.

Some people just want to watch the world burn.

    You should probably chuck one right in their head. Might make them less of an idiot.

My neighbors burn almost daily, even during burn bans. I get why they burn stuff and I burn cardboard sometimes myself. Our town has very strict rules on trash pickup and you can get fined for more than 5 bags. I don’t violate ordinances or bans tho. Because I don’t want my town to burn down.

  Is it common in the US to just burn stuff to get rid of it?
  
  Sounds like an environmental nightmare…

    Where I am it is. I burn things sparingly, usually only when I have way too many boxes to fit in my 5 trash bag maximum. That hasn’t happened in almost a year, thankfully. I’ve been able to find more of what I need locally so I’ve been ordering things online less and less.
