Green Fire Hydrant

There are several green fire hydrants near Calvert on South Campus. It seems like a great way to troll firefighters since they are pretty hidden looking.

It's a good idea to place them near Calvert like this too, since Calvert never burned down or anything in the past...

PANIC: Leaf Fires Attacking Campus

 

Does anyone know if leaf/brush fires are sustainable? Do leaf fires make for a "green" campus???

My gut reaction was that leaf fires are pretty shitty for the environment, so I did some Googling (via Bing) to gather some research (via putting my liberal arts degree to good use).

Also, the cellphone picture that I took makes the fire look kinda small, but in actuality it was pretty huge.

So, leaf fires used to be pretty common throughout the United States of 'Merica, but today most counties and states ban the practice.  St. Mary's County obviously has not banned leaf fires, via being St. Mary's county.

Anyways, according to the Wisconsin (cheese) Department of Natural Resources, the burning of leaves produces a lot of fine bits of dust and soot that can cause lung problems.  The carbon monoxide released from the burning of leaves can also lead to other health problems.  According to the EPA the burning of leaves produces a lot of air pollutants that can rival the pollution produced by a factory.  Leaves can also be used as mulch or compost instead of burning them.

FIRE: FIGHT OR FLEE

OCTOBER IS NATIONAL FIRE SAFETY MONTH

FUCK FIRE

IF you see a fire put that shit out immediately. I once saw a kid trying to start a fire in his grill and I karatechopped the grill in half to prevent a fire from forming. Destroy all fires by any means necessary.

If you have a fire extinguisher, aim at the bottom of the fire and pull the trigger until the fire is completely dead.

Note: If the fire is too big/it is a monster fire then run away and never stop running, because once you start running from a fire it chases you until one of you is dead.
