The only time my neighbor starts a fire in their back yard is when there is a red flag fire warning. We don't have many of these warnings per year, like one or two. On these days, they have a fire without fail. Yeah, they're a libertarian. Loves Rogan and Musk. Fucking dangerous, these people. Adolescent contrarians have more functioning logic.

Call them in, every time, leave an anonymous tip. We've watched entire neighborhoods burn this year due to dry conditions. We've watched entire towns be wiped off the map.

Fuck this guy, call it in. Depends on your state I believe, but do a quick google search, probably on the site that has the red flag warning. He wants to do it so bad, he can pay the hefty fines.

burning down my house to own the libs

It’d be a pity if their homeowners insurance company received a date-stamped photo of their actions.

…just a pity.

Yeah, I’ve got one of those selfish MAGA nuts living behind me. Dude lives in a house that was rebuilt after a firestorm burned 95% of the neighborhood to the ground, and he lived here during that rebuilding period.

A few 4th of July’s ago he was firing illegal mortars off his balcony and shooting firearms into the air. He was doing this once an hour for 12 hours before the cops hauled him away.

I stupidly asked him to stop because of fire risk and the fact that our pets were going nuts. He proceeded to try to fight me while yelling about freedom and other stupid MAGA shit.

He lives on the top of the hill in our neighborhood. So if he starts a fire, his place is almost sure to go. Fire runs up. He’s a fucking moron.

Report the guy to the cops or fire department if you can. Have multiple neighbors do it.

I wouldn't even want someone like that to get a fine from bylaw. They should get criminal charges for endangering everyone in that community.

People like that have no regard for human life.

Weren't the Australia fires of some year ago started in a similar way?

[-] RowRowRowYourBot@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago

Call the fire department on them. They do not fuck around and the police will back the fire dept.

[-] thebigslime@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Did you call the fire marshall?

First time I got to use a fire extinguisher was when a neighbor a few houses down the street thought it was a good idea to burn moss in his driveway with a blowtorch after it hadn’t rained in weeks.

That was the second time that neighbor’s neighbor’s hedge caught fire. He then replaced it with a fence.

There is too little information in that comment for me to be able to provide a meaningful response with the given context.

Edit: I don’t know why the material matters, but I think it was a wire mesh with some sort of plastic in between.

[-] Ashelyn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 3 months ago

I'm not the person you replied to, but pretty sure the question was whether the neighbor in your story replaced their hedge with a vinyl fence specifically.

[-] bleistift2@sopuli.xyz 0 points 3 months ago

Thanks. I couldn’t come up with a reason why the material would be relevant, so I thought there must be some context or other meaning of “vinyl fence” that I was missing.

[-] Ashelyn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 3 months ago

I could be wrong, but they likely asked because vinyl/PVC is generally toxic to the environment so it was probably a means of asking whether your neighbor replaced the foliage in their yard with a fixture that poisons the ground. I wouldn't be surprised if the strips in the chain link were vinyl, as that's a pretty common outdoor filler material.

[-] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 1 points 3 months ago

I think you guys are looking to deeply and it was just a joke about the burnt hedge being replaced with a flammable fence (vinyl).
