I know a lot of you are still probably using Reddit too, so you may have seen this already, but someone accidentally set Pre's Rock on fire last night, probably with fireworks.

I'm going to link the video, even though it's on Reddit, so people can see what happens when someone's a dumbass with fireworks: https://www.reddit.com/r/Eugene/comments/14r3n3i/did_anyone_else_see_the_fire_on_pres_rock_around/

Whoa. Terrifying. Thanks for sharing that.

(I had this random thought last night that we'd all be safer if someone - long enough ago that folks wouldn't get twigged off about it being inaccurate - had declared Independence Day like February 4th and then it would be generally damper and folks could set off fireworks at like 5pm and call it done.)

Yeah, July 4th is a godawful day to be setting off fireworks in most of the continental United States.
