burning house

Being a treeman and a local vol firefighter. the other day we had a house to be burnt down,and the house had large arbs around it and a 50 ft hemlock tree overhanging the roof all of which had to be removed before it could be burnt down. a week before it was to burn we cut the arbs but not the hemlock i left it for the day of the burn. We set the the house a blaze and right before the house was fully involved i dropped the tree on the roof there is a first time for everything. It made clean up alot easier.Does anybody have any interesting stories to share with the group Just waiting for pictures to come back should look cool.
