I remember one time, many
I remember one time, many years ago, listening to the scanner, and a call came across about a tree on fire. The fire dept. went to the seen and did not find anything, upon further investigation it turned out that there was a big orange, harvest moon in the sky behind the tree and with the wind blowing the tree branches, the caller thought the tree was on fire!!! very funny stuff!!!
