Expoding trees and unraked leaves - Jeez

“When trees fall down, after a short period of time they become very dry — really like a matchstick ... and they can explode,” he continued. “Also leaves. When you have dried leaves on the ground, it’s just fuel for the fires.”

Perhaps he can hire an army of leaf blowing yard people to clear that up.

He’s the worst example of a city idiot (and I live in a city!) that’s never been exposed to the woods.
