street fire

Ryan and I went to dinner tonight.  It was good, a nice meal and night out.  But, that wasn't the highlight... We were almost home, and as we pulled onto Oakleaf Lane, this is what we came upon:
ashes still smoldering and put  in the trash can...not a good idea...

Ryan called the fire department. 
It took them 7 minutes to arrive, and the fire got pretty big.  It very well could have caught the lawn, and then house on fire.  I rang the doorbell, and it took awhile, but eventually the owner came outside.  Just in time to see the firemen save HIS day. 
Lesson:  DON'T THROW YOUR ASHES AWAY!! Put them in a metal can and let them sit for a LONG time!!
