In another thread here, I learned something that never would have occurred to me:
Bass drum needs to be elevated off the floor.
Another thing that never occurred to me:
We have pots in front of the house, with the "mulchy" type soil for tomatoes, green peppers, etc.
I was at work yesterday when I got called by my GF who told me about the fire!
Apparently, mulch has a tendency to "self-ignite"! It smolders and then possibly catches fire, which is why some guy driving by, looked and said "well that ain't right"! He pulled over and frantically knocked, rang and yelled. GF is having sciatica issues so that by the time she got to the door he had gotten the garden hose, and his wife was in the process of calling the fire department.
All said and done, since everything was "settled" I stayed at work. Of all the people there I told, ONLY ONE was aware that this can happen. It never occurred to me or the others.
The partially burned pot is about 20 inches in diameter, as was the one that completely burned up.
Our house has wood siding.
Just thought I might be able to make this occur to someone!
