It's like shouting "Fire!" in the middle of a crowded Ardmore

So, I was on my way to run an errand today, and I ended up getting a front seat to this around 5 PM:



This went down on Woodside Ave., just by the Wawa on Lancaster Ave. As best I can tell, it was only shrubbery that was burning. No other property appears to have been harmed.

The Merion Fire Company's Ardmore truck arrived on the scene shortly after I did and promptly extinguished the blaze. Woodside Ave was closed for all of about 20 minutes.

The rest of the pictures can be viewed in this slide show:

You must bring us...a SHRUBBERY!

And this time, don't burn it!

That's what we call a mulch fire, almost always caused by some asshole flicking a cigarette into it.

This is a good time to discuss CONTEXT

Context is the difference between yelling FIRE in...

A.) A Theater and B.) A Shooting Range
