In the late afternoon of Tuesday, May 20, 2008, the bushes in front of the education building suddenly burst into flames!  A carelessly tossed cigarette from a passing car was thought to have been the cause.  The fire department was immediately called and they extinguished the fire - but not until a number of bushes had been burned and the tree nearby was scorched.  Fortunately, there were no cars in the adjacent parking spaces at the time!  The resulting damage can be seen in these photos.  The burnt bushes have since been removed and it is hoped to eventually replace them.  We're hoping the tree will recover on its own.
