Noticed this when it happened, thought for a second about posting or tweeting about it but it was just too anti-spectacular … Carl must have been pretty bored

This is what I love about Decatur. You can figure out where the fires are, who was mugged, and the best place to sit for fireworks without even getting out of your chair! Growing up in a different small town, my father would listen to the fire horn, figure out exactly where the fire must be from the pattern of blasts, and then bring the volunteer firefighters coffee.

I’m glad this was small and contained! I have much of my family arriving in town this week for the wedding, and they’re all staying at the HI.

I was sitting in Java Monkey when they went by. When they didn’t come back in 5 minutes, as usual, I figured there must have been a real fire somewhere.
