And now back to our heroes - here we find Yeshi scaling the fence to the airfield after calling the fire department. We managed to get two hoses hooked together and Yeshi grabbed a couple old towels to throw over the barbed wire, then went over the fence with a little help from Dad. It took him about 5 minutes to put the fire out and the fire truck showed up just after he finished. They came over and had a look at it, shone their flashlights around and then asked Yeshi if he'd be willing to go back over and give the ground a good soaking. Apparently they had bigger fish to fry than our little grass fire. They were really nice guys - I was concerned we would be in trouble but they were actually glad we called. After they left and Yehsi finished soaking the ground we went back to our fireworks. This time just the more reliable stuff though! This is Yeshi scaling the fence the second time to wet the grass down. Nope, I didn't get any pictures of the fire - I had to help with hoses....seemed like the better idea...
