Getting everyone organized for the big event.

Fire chief gave us spectators a talk when he finished here.. explained how it would work and what we would see.

A practice shot with a hose.

The man about the place lighting the ceremonial hay that would eventually destroy the house.

Once the hay was placed inside the house (and more hay lit with the aim n flame), it was amazing how soon smoke started pouring out all sorts of holes in the house. The real flames took a long time to come out.. the firefighters kept putting out the fire and then getting it going in again.. but eventually, flame erupted and that was hard to see.
