Crazy even the sparks from the saw started a fire when he was cutting the gate! Tells u how dry it really is. Not that fire would go far but I wonder if he could've gotten away with using bolt cutters. But they did a great job at saving the structures. I can't believe this started from fireworks also...like why be messing with those in the summer time!! I think whoever was responsible should be fined for the cost of fighting the fire! Putting lives and property at risk from stupidity!

Great job by everyone, could have been so much worse. Especially with no brush trucks on scene, that’s a great job
