last night we had a fire in the fire pit, and at one point put a huge clump of shrubbery (which was wet from rain) on the fire, and it smelled so bad that a neighbor apparently called the fire department. a full squadron of 6 absolute fire bros showed up, and they were like well looks like you have a good set up here, 25 ft from the house, water source nearby....got a beer? it was great.
