One gullible misconception is,
that a burning cigarette can do no harm.
It can lead to more than a lawsuit.
One harmful act and the insidious effect of a lit cigarette
left unattended
it's smug nature to feast on nearby objects
inflicting damage and spreads
like an out of control weed
forbidden and off limits
it hungrily thrives on when
left unattended
all the bread or rather money in the world can't stop its destruction
only the tug of a water hose
at the hand of a firefighter
unexpectedly
plucked from the warmth of his bed
to put the blazing fire out.
But!
In the end, man wins, and no human/animal losses.
The next photos below are from a recent fire in town this week
and the firefighter pictured is my son. This is his first actual fire.
He's completed his schooling process to become a volunteer firefighter and had only gone on firehouse calls like, carbon monoxide to 911 medical calls and etc. until this burning structure.

Nobody ever called the fire department because they did something smart.

Hello, congrats to your brave son for becomming a volunteer firefighter! I am so thankful for our firefighters. It is neat seeing that at one time the fire equipment was pulled by a team of horses. We have had brush fires due to careless people throwing their lit cigarettes out their car windows.
Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Have a happy weekend!
may your son stay safe. i respect the heck out of volunteer firemen and women. they give of their own time for training, meetings, medical calls, fires, accidents, etc. etc.
...ha ha...'because they did something smart.'
