Just got back from a bonfire at a friend's house.

Around 1145pm, we heard a couple of fire trucks going by, and wondered where they were headed to. A few minutes later, several firefighters in full gear appeared behind the apartment complex that butts up against my friend's backyard. Apparently, the smoke from our fire was so thick it moved over the top of the building, and someone called the fire department because they thought the apartments were on fire.

We weren't in trouble, the guys just came by to make sure we had our fire under control and a hose nearby.

We have fires there every couple months, and this is the first time we've ever had this happen. It was a real WTF moment, and though the firemen were real cool about it, I still felt a little bad they had to come over in full gear.

That killed the mood though, so we put it out anyway.
