Cake Monster Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 (edited) I the immediate vicinity of the village where I live, there have been some 20 or so of these fires over the last 5 weeks. Very observant of the guy making the warning, but just a tad too slow. Good job his drum wasnt in the path of a fire Edited February 19, 2019 by Cake Monster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
