I moved to my current home a few months ago... Maybe I"ve caused too much action around here..
On the Fouth of July the cops came and made my and my boys stop the fireworks... yeah,, THe ones I was lighting we not supposed to be used in NC,... legal in SC but not here...
Someone called the police... didn't come ask us to stop or politley voice their concern...
I live in a pretty rual neighborhood but I guess an am within the city limits of concord... The house I bought was foreclosed and needs alot of work.. the yard was a big mess. I have rehabbed the yard, had the city pick up multiple loads of brush,,, really improvng the look of thehome and the neighborhood. Yesterday I had about a short bed pick up load full of brush, not over the bed but to about the top..
I decided to just burn it instead of leaving it at the curb for week till the city came,.. well someone called the fire department...
Funny thing.. the guy comes up,.. we walk to the back of my .5 acre mainly wooded lot.. He looked at the little fire, as big as a small campfire, looked at me, looked to the ground and shook his head. He told me someone had called with a fore emergency.. they came into the neighborhood with the lights and sirens blaring... He said he had to make me put it out since they made the run.. He said they actually couldn't find it.. so they tryed to call the people back and they wouldn't leave a name or a number..
So then my kids and the neighbor kids climbed all over the fire truck and got little fire hats...
Now I understan that I am in the city limits and it is illegal to burn... it's not if you have it elevated some how and not on the ground... this fire would have fit in a large chiminea,...
But someone is just and _ss,.. they could have come and talked to me. I would have been happy to address anyones concerns.. This little trip, in a $400k fire truck.. HAD to cost at least $1000 of our tax money.. plus,.. what if there actually WAS an emergency and someone died because they couldn't get there fast enough becasue they were over here...
People kill me.. I'm being very responsible with it,.. improving the property and the look of the neighborhood.. and this is what we get..
Some of you will probably think I'm out of line and should be ticketed...
SIgned,
New trouble in the neighborhood...
