That's why when I get a permit it says to burn after 5:00. That works MOST of the time..Typical MO, no wind at all UNTIL you get a good burn going....

When I was maybe 4, my mother, older brother and younger sister were in the car ready to go to the store. Younger sister needs a clean diaper, so mother and sister go in the house leaving my brother and I in the car.
I jump in the drivers seat and manager to get the car out of park. My brother goes out the window. I go down the slope of the driveway, across the street, between the neighbors house and tree (that my mother says she could negotiate without hitting one or the other) and end up dangling (teeter tottering)over the edge of a retaining wall. Wrecker comes and drags the car back up onto the lawn. No damage - to anything. See, even at 4 I was a great driver.
We can open burn here, no permit required. But our ordinance specifies no burning after sunset, other than camp fires, and no starting a brush burn pile less than something like 30 - 60 minutes before sunset. In other words, if they're going to have to send a fire crew out into a field, they don't want to do it in the dark!That's why when I get a permit it says to burn after 5:00.

My biggest fear burning the pile or woods is having to call the state forestry service if it gets away from me. Their weapon of choice is equivalent to a D5 (?) dozer with a plow towed behind that makes a 3-4 foot wide ditch with foot high berms on either side. One heck of a mess. Great to have them available though. Examples:We can open burn here, no permit required.

I released the parking brake when I was 4 or so and rolled our 50's Ford down the driveway and into the street, blocking traffic. Police came and I don't remember after that but everyone was calm about it. "Just don't do that again."Not as dangerous - but just as traumatic (at least to me) - was when I was 5 or 6.
My Dad stopped at a gas station and went inside. I stayed in the car. I was fooling around in the Driver’s seat playing like I was driving and somehow set the parking brake.
My Dad comes back, starts the car and begins to drive away. Well, we weren’t moving so well.
I remember him saying “what the ****” and stopping the car. Looking around. Finally he realizes the parking brake is engaged.
He takes off the brake, looks at me and only says “don’t tell Mom what I said”. To this day I think of this and wonder if he knew I was the culprit!!
