Exactly a month ago today, I posted this thread about my pyromaniac neighbouring farmer.
Well, in the intervening month, he must have been brooding away and decided he could do better. So mid-morning, he decided to light up another field well away from us. Right next door to a forest of Forestry Commission spruce. Yeah, I know....bit dumb in hindsight.
An hour later, the first fire engine went past. Then the second. Ten minutes later, the big chunky 4x4 ATV. Then five minutes later, the fire chief. Ten more minutes and two more fire engines and the water rescue unit...not sure about that last one...maybe they fancied getting out of lockdown...dunno. They were up there a fair time, though.
What a plonker ! Those engines will have been pulled away from other fire stations. Fingers crossed they weren't needed for, say, a house fire.
