A neighbor had a fire who we are not on good terms with since he reported me to the city for feeding the birds and causing them to get sick and unhealthy at my bird feeders. We kept feeders clean every day. Meanwhile his quantity of smoke from wet wood caused me to collapse on the ground from asthma attacks. That is the history. So I do not talk to him and he does not talk to me.
For the past month we have not been able to go in our yard because of the huge billowing clouds of thick very smelly smoke coming from his fireplace chimney everyday.
Sometimes the smoke is so thick at the ground level with no wind we could barely see our trees 150' from the house.
When he burns wood in his fire pit in yard the wood does not burn but smolders and smokes since it is uncovered & wet and he often uses unseasoned wood he cuts the day before. I have seen him do this. This is the guy who splits wood while his kids are riding the splitter and playing horsie.
I let the dogs out 1 night 2 weekends ago and saw flashing lights in our trees. I went to backyard and saw a pumper truck and supply truck at the neighbor's house. A ladder truck and 1 sheriff car was also blocking the street. The pumper truck was in his yard with hoses and fans were going inside his house. The ladder truck stayed on the street, it would have been a very tight fit for the thing to get into the drive with culverts on both sides of street and a fence on side of drive.
I obviously did not see any fire since it was out already with the fans going.
But since then there has not been any smoke billowing from his chimney and air is clean again. Temperatures have gone down to 40 and there have been no smoke signals from his house.
If it was a chimney fire it is really strange since the guy works in the fire extinguisher business and has a truck full of extinguishers. Maybe he isn't so smart after all?
It is only conjecture that there was a chimney fire or some fire related to fireplace, but he had billowing clouds of smoke everyday before the fire trucks came and now the air is clear of his smoke.
