I don't have one of those but if I did, it would be used to record and also to monitor the fire until it's totally out and nothing but ashes remain. When it all cools down I would call the hazmat folks to come and clean up the mess.

I agree. But I think putting out the fire might be a good idea for safety of the door buzzard. And I wouldn't want it to eat any of the carrion as it would be too toxic.

Sorry folks, but my front porch has a roof on it. I don’t care how bad I hate that motherfucker, I like my front porch.

Of course, nothing says I can’t spray about 300 gallons of water up his nose just to make sure I got all the fire out.

I have a covered porch that narrows at the front door, so I considered that, as well. But, as long as he gets off the porch, he can keep burning. Best of both worlds.

and force his family to pay for it. Put him out? Not in one trillion years would I ever consider saving that mans life. I used to be a Nurse. If he had been brought to me I would have had to but I let my license lapse when I retired. I took care of too many reprehensible people in handcuffs, under guard. I do not have to now. There is not one good reason to save him. He has done no good things in his miserable life and has hurt as many people as he has wanted to. Jackass.

while it would "scream at your brain" while doing it, you would do what your training has taught you to do - that is the nature and training of people in your kind of service.

And while you'd be furious at yourself for having done it, you would never have an ounce of trouble looking at yourself in the mirror at any time.

But I sure understand your feeling!

I like to talk like a big shot, lol. I saved a coyote that was after my goats. If it had gotten hold of one of them I would have beat it with something until it let go but it got scared of me waving my arms and jumping and growling around and finally left. If it had not I would have had to do something. I simply could not kill or let die a single creature, even though there is a threat. I would be no good in the up coming struggle except to help think and ease pain. LOL. DAMN, you got me! Somehow it has made me feel like a bigger shot that what I was talking about.

Fuck the front porch. When the fire eventually goes out, just build a new one.
