We either outlast the fire, or make sure it's out before the last person leaves the circle, especially this year, when we've had exceptionally dry conditions.
I hope you had a fun and safe 4th of July holiday. It's just a bit weird when a holiday fells in the middle of a work week. Don't know about you, but I get my days all mixed up.
Speaking of the 4th of July, there's no other holiday that celebrates with a rousing fireworks as much as Independence day does...
