So this is it, hardly what you may call an Bonfire. In fact by the time the fire department showed up on a Saturday evening of the long weekend, we had already extinguished the fire and headed inside to watch a movie before bed. We had only lite it to roast a few marshmallows as part of our fun filled sleep over with my nephews. Yet, one of our very friendly neighbours felt in necessary to call in a complaint about a Bonfire on our street, thus causing some real excitement as the fire truck came barreling onto our little crescent with their sirens going. The firemen had to walk door to door trying to figure out who was burning something as they could not see any smoke, and due to the fact we live two blocks from a campground and the whole subdivision smells of camp smoke all summer it was hard for the firemen to even determine who was having a fire. We got issued a warning and an apology for our crappy neighbours. It is in fact not illegal to have a fire if you are cooking over it( I guess the marshmallow count).
Oh well the kids had fun before we had to put it out, and now we know that we won't be having any more backyard BONFIRES! I just hope we don't let the BBQ flare up or the neighbours may call 911 on us again.
