What on earth is a pile of wood and chip that big doing there in the first place?

It is long story but.... the local construction of new subdivision housing creates a lot of brush and debris from their initial land clearing. A local guy decided to store the stuff on his land ( charging for the service) and he was supossed to 'compost' the material and sell it later. Well, he never composted anything or sold it either and the pile has grown too large for its own good. Now he is paying to cover all the expenses of putting out the fire plus a few fines from my state agency for creating groundwater pollution and operating and illegal landfill!
So, keep an eye on those piles of chips they can make a big costly mess!
