It sounds like we might have a warm and rain free evening for July 4th. That always makes me glad, especially since we have a three-day weekend, but it scares me a little too. Four years ago a garage in my neighborhood (actually one house over behind my street) caught fire from a bottle rocket. It landed on the roof and immediately started burning in a buildup of pine needles. Within a half hour, the fire department was there and able to put out the fire with only minimal damage, but half of the composition roof did have to be replaced. If you live in an area where the celebration might throw sparks your way, please be sure and check out your property before you head off to bed. Smoldering flames in the grass, shrubs, even roof tops can take hours to burn, and by then most of us are in bed. Enjoy the promised nice weekend (according to King 5 this morning!) and have a fun and safe Fourth of July!
