It was hot yesterday here in MI and very dry. This homeowner set a mole bomb and sparks started grass on fire, later house.


Hydrant pressure low because of high use and subdivision main is capped at the end.

Why do people do this? :hopeless: There are far easier and less dangerous ways to control pests. :nono:

This happened here recently. 2 guys trying to get rid of a groundhog that took up house keeping in a tunnel under their family shed. They stuffed a lit road flare in the tunnel, good bye shed. Now I had heard this before and coule not remember where I got it from. Several days ago I was watching vintage TV and Reed on Adam 12 had a gopher problem, Malloy new the answer. Yep stuff the holes with road flares. Reed was lucky.
