So me and my friend were hanging out at the park, right? Only its totally deserted cuz its like 104 degrees out today, and even my friend is complaining about the heat.
Anyways were chatting and looking at this dead frog corpse I found that was all dried up, it looked like a crupled piece of paper shaped like a frog with two black holes where its eyes should be. She didn't think the heat could do that to a dead frog.
Anyhoo, we turn around and notice that over near the playground slides, somethings wrong. The park behind my house has a circular area about ten feet in diameter, like a sandbox, only instead of sand it's filled with woodchips.
Well, some @$$hat apparently decided to toss their cigarette butt into the playground area filled with wood.
It was smoking a WHOLE LOT, and little candle-size flames were springing up.
Being the quick reactor type that I am, while my friend danced around worriedly ("Oh, crap, should we call 911?") I ran to my house (about 35 feet away; the park literally is right in the back of it) got a bucket, filled it with the hose, and promptly hauled ass back and dumped it into the smoking patches. Some family came out and helped. Then they called the news station and me and my friend were interviewed about our public service.
We're gonna be on the news and all i can think is "CRAP. This is the kindof thing I want to AVOID!"
