And how was your Monday?

Western Outdoor owner (Uncle) Mark Pirrie uses a fire extinguisher to put out a roof fire outside a second-story apartment window above the business on Main Street on Monday. Pirrie was successful at stopping the roof fire, which started from a burning flower pot. The Fire Department responded to the incident, and said in a press release that the fire was caused by “improper disposal of smoking materials.” No one was injured.

Improper my .......

It was a DUMB @SS smoker who thought he could get around the NO smoking policy by putting out a cig in a potted plant. And we've since learned to never do this (a friend burnt their house DOWN doing it) because of the fertilizers in the dirt make it go boom! Thank goodness it was sitting outside the window on the sill. So they only had to tear up some of the awning shingles.

Yea!!! Brother/Uncle Mark SAVED the day! And How was your Monday?!

Lesson learned.....potting soil and cigs make FIRE!
