I had a huge brush pile in my yard. It was piled next to my 500gal. LP tank. I started it on fire earlier but my neighbor came running over with a fire extingusher and made out my fire. Then he used my hose to soak the pile. I am really angered because he has no right tampering with my yard. I almost called the police but I try to be on good terms with my neighbors even if they are all assholes.
Anyhow, he claimed that it's very dangerous to have a fire next to my LP tank. I told him he's crazy because the tank is steel and steel dont burn. He said he used to be a volunteer fireman when he was younger. Obviously he was a volunteer because he's too damn stupid to be a real fireman. Some people are idiots and this neighbor really takes the cake when it comes to idiots. The fire did burn some paint off one end of the tank but no big deal. Nothing a little white paint cant fix.
Now I got to wait several days till the wood drys before I can start the fire again. This time I'll wait till the neighbor is gone. But I think I'll pull the wood about 3 feet from the tank so it dont burn more paint. I dont feel like painting the whole tank.
Anyhow, I'd like to tell this neighbor off, but I want some scientific information why steel dont burn. Can anyone tell me where to get this proof?
Thanks Joe
