On my way home from work. Coming up the range road I saw some huge flames coming from the subdivision I live in. 1st thought neighbor 3 houses down lost his shop. As got closer I saw it was one of the houses on the Northside of the subdivision. So instead of taking my turn at the south entrence I took the north. Getting ready to call the fire department. As I passed the guys place it looked like a big brush fire/party as there were cars and people all over. As I rounded the west side of the subdivision to head back to my place the fire department came in on the south entrence (wrong entrence for them)lights and sirens blazing.
My wife and I drove back around and I snapped some pictures with my phone.they aren't very good photos. I screen shot Google Earth showing which place had the fire and where it was and the blue is where I was taking my pictures from. Another neighbor had called said that entrence is completely blocked off.

My wife and next door neighbors were saying it sounded like a party. They were shooting off fireworks
I wonder if that's what started it.

Hopefully the fire department gets it put out before it spreads. It's 3 houses over and on the back side of our property line. I have a ton of trees back there on lot.

Had one in my back yard Thanksgiving weekend. I'm really surprised the fire department did not attend.Guys on the space station called to ask what the phuck was going on!
Doing smoke signals with fire bombs 👍
