btw, if its not a pte property, why does TS care even if the whole field get burn so long as the fire does not spread to his house?
Maybe you like someone to burn a big patch of grass beside your home
It do happens that smoke rises upwards you know
And it's a bloody fire hazzard and very dangerous. The wind can blow and the fire can spread really quickly in this weather.
I can't believe you actually asked why does TS even care??? What kind of freaking person are you. It's ok if someone else home burn down because why should you care??
I don't understand.
Why do people keep insisting on burning on that field when it has a history of burning down in previous years? Worse, the perpetuators live right next to the fire they started. The logic is simply not there.
I'm not going to say that burning such stuff is wrong or what, but I think its very wrong when we see warped drain covers, burnt marks on pathways meant for the living, and fire right where you live. The fire was barely 20m from the nearest house at the ground level.
What's even sadder was the slow reaction of the people who live there when they see the fire. The big black patch in the first picture was due to the fire probably burning for sometime before someone did anything. The fire I witnessed could have burnt down another significant portion if I had not called 995 early, thus limiting the damage to about 10m diameter.
On another occasion where some idiot tried to start a fire at the letterboxes, making use of the piles of waste paper ads on the floor, the old folks just stood there are gap. Fortunately someone took a bucket of water and poured it onto the fire soon after.
town council and RC's should do something seriously. they should distribute phamplets and flyers before CNY to warn of people of the consequences and penalty. but then there will still have people flouting the rules openly and blatantly. thats where citizenship patrols come into place.
