| I was 12. I was staying with my cousin who lived in a farm in the country. His dad (my uncle) had cleared some land to make pasture and my cousin and I were supposed to burn a stump pile each day, until they were all burned. The very first day, I being from the city and thinking I was smarter than my country cousin, decided we should burn 1 stump pile each. So we poured gas on one and started it for my cousin and I walked about 30-40 yards away and started another. The stump piles were fairly big and dried from being pushed up months earlier. Dog Fennel was everywhere in the pasture. I got mine started and looked back at my cousins and he seemed to be having problems keeping his from spreading to the dog fennel, so I went over to help him. After we got his back under control I in a few minutes, I turned to go back to my fire and it was WAY BIG. After the whole ordeal was over, we had started a fire that burned over 4300 acres of land, two barns, 1 vacant house, and killed 75 head of hogs that were in a stable at one of the barns. I remember how scared I was when I seen the first helicopter drop water....... What have you caused?

Damn Curtis, I can't even come close to that. Mine would seem so miniscule (old 19th century term) I'd be ashamed to say. I just read that to Susan, and all she could say "OH my GOD" and started
