Christ I was in Port Clinton and the wife calls me worried. Wasn't that close to your house. Like the 10 tires he burnt the week before.

aBOUT 30 FEET FROM THE FENCE i PUT UP, WHICH IS 3 FEET FROM MY GARAGE. Wind was blowing to the northwest, though, so mainly I was hoping that big pine I have wouldn't get screwed up. Fence/garage is due west from that shed.
stupid caps lock.
I had positioned my garden hose next to the fence and garage and charged the line before I started the camera.
Oh, also, I saw what was inside the shed. Riding lawn mower, push mower, small gas generator, big garden tiller. All fucked.

My brother the fire fighter tells me that every time a shed burns down they just assume it's a meth lab.
Ditto with any fire in a trailer park.

Nah, no meth lab. In the pic you can actually see the little burn pile that started it, with the wind blowing directly from it to the shed. I framed the picture that way on purpose, in case he tried to point at MY fire ring 50 feet to the north of his shed. The fire ring that is nowhere near any trees or buildings. Which is also never lit on a windy day.

He actually lit his own shed on fire, accidentally or otherwise?

We assumed any fire in Missouri anywhere was a meth lab. If it happened to be really far out, we'd assume it was two or three at the same time.

Accident. And yes, he burns stuff in that little area, and the wind kicked up some stuff and lit his shed.
Usually he waits until the wind is blowing toward my house so we need to scramble to close windows.
