About four years ago I decided it was time for it to go and I spent a week going through all the junk in it saving a few things and leaving the rest to burn. I talked to my neighbor to see if I needed to call or notify anyone and he said nope just throw a match to it. Well it had about six layers of asphalt shingles on it and you could see the smoke from 15 miles away and yes a tank truck came from one direction and a pumper truck came from another along with the sheriffs department and about a dozen onlookers. Only thing I said was please do not put it out. Well, what's the rest of the story  ?? Did they put it out and how much $$ was required  ?

The pumper turned around and left after I told them it was intentional and the tank truck left a few minutes later. Never saw a bill. A good friend came with his backhoe the next day and dug a hole and he pushed what was left in it and buried it. Gave him $200 but offered him more and he wouldn't take it. A good friend for sure.
