Well.. at least it wasnt a break in this time! Someone decided to light our picnic island on fire.... It's currently 55 degrees out, so I doubt anyone was lighting a fire to stay warm. Plus Got a video of him starting the fire.... taking photos of it... letting his jacket catch on fire a few times while playing with it before putting his arm out... Then throwing something into it causing it to get huge, then drive away on a scooter.

I purposely dont have this island setup to alert me because we get so many cars driving by it... but the explosion made the camera detect the motion since it shined in our parking lot. Not much damage could be done, this is about 20-30 FT from our building... BUT the end where the trees are is about 6 FT From another patch of bushes that do touch our building, and all behind our building is full brush....so if the tree caught on fire / fell over, it could have been bad.. I don't think its dry enough for that to happen though, kind of looks like it burnt the tree a bit then went out on its own.. he did burn down our picnic table / Area we bring the BBQ to to BBQ... which we're doing in 2 days :mad:


Took the fire department 6 minutes to respond, at close to midnight :thumb: 911's first question was is there a chance the building can catch on fire....Told them its about 6 FT from another set of bushes that connect to our warehouse... so if a tree catches on fire and falls over, theres a good chance it would...hasn't rained here in days, so theres a chance it could happen. Kinda surprised...would they just not send a fire truck if the building wasnt at risk? We're a 5 minute drive from the fire house,and they got here within 6 minutes...so I'm guessing they were already dispatched before asking the question, so maybe they just needed to know how many trucks to send.


These $100 reolink solar Cameras are awesome... Especially if you need solar powered, We get maybe one person a week coming through after hours before the alarm scares them off, from 2 crackheads walking right to the building with bolt cutters, only to get scared off and b line it away... to catching fires that (Likely wouldn't have) But could have been worst.
