Remember that big fire on a military training area on Wednesday?

The response of the department of defense at first: "The cause is still being investigated, but even IF it was live ammo that caused so much damage, we still need the practice. 🤷"

Then two more fires broke out on different military training areas the next day, also during exercises. Fire departments all over the country started to wear thin with so much personnel and equipment being needed 24/7, so they had to call for help from Germany, Belgium and even France, who thankfully all did come to the rescue.

Then the department of defense had no choice but to change their response: "We're going to review the protocols for training during drought." Important detail: not change, just review. 😒

Come on, there's no telling the Dutch what to do - or what not to do for that matter.
@NerdyPotato I thought you would know that, too... how many people per year are convicted for owning illegal fireworks???
@HootyTheNightOwl I can't find any statistics, but convictions are probably only the tip of the iceberg anyway. It's quite common indeed. 😬
@NerdyPotato Yes, it is a common conviction - and I'm aware that the true numbers will be even higher than the ones that are unfortunate enough to land before the judge.

BTW... can you tell the Dutch military to come over here and take their smoke home with them???

It's right up by the Peak District of England now...
