That is going to be one nasty fire once all of those tires start burning.

      Hey, this one begs a shot of The Tyre Pyre on Fyer. I do hope you can grab one and post it Katie.

        I hope that anyone with a respiratory condition who lives in the downdraft direction of the prevailing winds leaves town pronto. We set of a few firecrackers on fire etc recently and my dd went through two days of feeling crummy because of her asthma. The carbon footprint this fire will leave is inexcusable.
