Last nite at about 8 I took the dog for a walk my a couple of houses down the crows were going crazy diving into the top of this redwood tree over 100' from the ground, I looked up and almost to the very top there was a huge Raccoon sleeping away. I told a neighbor and visa versa soon the whole block was out staring up at Rocky. About 2 hrs later we hear a Fire Truck go by our house my Wife says there is a fire on our block being the Smart ass that I am I say they are just going to save the coon. But nope there is a fire at the same house with the tree so again the whole block came out. The Garage was on fire so the FD cut off the door. Gee I wonder what he was doing in his Garage. You can see the tree in the first photo.

Maybe your neighbor was trying to send "smoke" signal to the Racoon (j/k)  :smt003

Yeah, that looks extremely familiar...  I think there's more weed growing indoors than out up in Humboldt now.

It's really disgusting what these scumbag pot growers can do to their rental houses. At my work we see it all the time now. Illegal/unsafe electrical circuits and irrigation tubing in the basement,
attic, or spare bedrooms.
If the hvac ductwork or structural beams/roof trusses are in the way then they are cut and thrown aside. Need to punch a hole or three thru wall/ceiling/floor to get elec/water thru, no problem. No respect only greed. Rant over. jim

Guess they were too cheap for a surge protector, eh?
Funny, from living in the Doon I was figuring a tray of chemicals over a hotplate would be the culprit.

How did the raccoon make out? :smt044

When I saw it burning I told my wife it;'s probably his crank factory my wife said I should be ashamed to say something like that when the poor guys house was burning, the next day she apologized and said I wasn't too far off.
