Sunday the 13th Burn

Do you know how the rich stay rich here in Napa? When they decide that their huge house isn't good enough anymore, they donate it to the fire department to burn down. The fire department can do training with it for a couple of days. The people donating get a huge tax write-off for it, and they get a free demolish of their house! So they can build their new huge house without having to pay for anything!

Donnie had one this past Sunday right down the street from his station. The houses they donate do have to be on a big enough property, so the neighbor's houses aren't effected. Lots of people line the streets to watch. I guess it would be exciting on a Sunday to watch your neighbors ugly pink house get burned down!
