Burning of the Christmas trees

Submitted by Outdoor Travel on Monday, 14 January 2008No Comment

We have a law here in Belgium that you aren’t allowed to burn anything in your garden…

Now before that law was in place, most people would burn there Christmas-tree in the garden: the most easy way to get rid of your tree, and I must say: it burns great :-)

So when the law came in place: people got stuck with their Christmas trees.

fire brigade smileyNow our fire-brigade, which is a voluntary team, was so smart to collect all people’s Christmas trees and burn them this Sunday.

Add to that fireworks, BBQ, food and drinks, and they found an ideal way to earn some extra income for their team.

They not only served us a great evening but did our community again another favor by getting rid of our trees.

Thanks fire-brigade!
