The Forest Fire My Husband Started

Saturday James started a forest fire. I laugh every time I say it. He is so hilarious. He and his friend Aaron decided it would be a good idea to take the damaged scooter into the wilderness and shoot at it. So they did. Genius. Everything was fine at first, until someone shot the tail light and it lit some sagebrush on fire. Which they weren't too worried about {for some reason}. They tried to put the fire out, and it kept getting bigger. Eventually they couldn't get a handle on it. So my {somewhat} responsible husband called 9-1-1 for some help. The fire fighters came and the sheriff came to discuss consequences for James and Aaron's actions. First and foremost they were going to be charged for illegal dumping of the scooter in the wilderness. Plus the cost of getting all of the fire fighters out there and paying them for their job. Plus various other fines for not being smart. Awesome. In the end the sheriff was pretty impressed that the guys actually called for help instead of running away, so he said that if they come back tomorrow and pick up the scooter {to waive the illegal dumping charge} they would be free of any charges. When James and Aaron went back the next day James said they did about 2 football fields long and 1 football field wide of damage.
