  • Fortunately it was on an abandoned line - rails pulled several years ago.

    Unfortunately, it was considered a local historical landmark.

    Either way, who in their right mind would set a grass fire when the entire area is ripe to burn.  Fires don't simply stop at property lines unless there's a solid, manned firebreak there.

    Something tells me somebody's in a heap of trouble!
