Yikes ! Fire in my Yard :(

[Trezurehunter]

From the looks of all that dried brush around, things could go wrong real fast.

....um, up your fire insurance ASAP! You have a "lose nut" as a neighbor!
You may want to consider putting a water tower in your yard.

I have the opposite neighbor problem...pool that is a swamp for almost 10 years now, told the city...(crickets chirping)...summer is fun trying to avoid the diease carrying mosquitos....trade Ya!

Hint - Don't know if it's quite legal or not..... Fill some plastic cups with vegetable oil and loft em into the offending pool. Seems the skeeters can't deal with the oil on the surface. Was told this by an un-named inspector while he was writing a green pool citation for a neighbor. Oh, vegetable oil will degrade and won't hurt strays if they fall in or try to get a drink. Remember you didn't hear that here.

I think you should attempt to speak with him first , and if he seems reasonable - you can get the behavioral changes you seek , If you can't seem to
find him , or if he seems unreasonable - you should call the fire officials in your area and find out what they can do to assist you .

That's a pretty serious problem more than you think! Now seeing the rest of the pictures! If it got away from him that easy think what could go wrong if he inadvertently threw a container with vapors of residual flammable liquid. Next time he's burning give a call to the fire dept. to anonymously report smoke coming from behind *** address. Yeah, it might make you feel like a jerk but I could with that better than losing my house.

Also, you'd really be helping your other neighbors! It it (Lord forbid) did get away from him their houses would be in danger too! So, you'd be doing the neighborhood a favor not just yourself.

no I'm the only house near him.
the house on the opposite side has been torn down

so we see the difference between us
I would have labeled it 'me' and 'her'

Either way you go that's a scary situation in my book! When we had the brush fires in California (Orange County) the embers were blowing from up in Modjeska Canyon clear down to Fashion Island Newport Beach. So with a little wind I'd be worried he'd burn your place down too. Check your homeowners insurance to see if it has a clause to cover idiots. If you want to give him a poke in the brain cells, clip all the coupons for fire extinguishers you can find and do some print screens of ads for them. Drop them in his mailbox. Call up some of the fire extinguisher service companies and set appointments using his name & address.

If you need some other ideas please order my book "How to subtly be a jerk in 10 easy lessons" refer to technique 112.

Another idea for you might be to run some 3/4 PVC with full circle sprinkler heads every 6' or so along the top of the fence and hook it up to your hose bib. At least you'd have a chance of stopping it at your fence line, or turn it up full blast every time he burns to nip it in the bud.
