Our top story tonight comes from right here at The Knot Ranch, where what started as a peaceful Saturday night bonfire turned into what the East County Volunteer Fire Department described as...

“Well...that got outta hand quick.”

Now, before we go any further, I wanna make one thing perfectly clear.

This was NOT my fault.

I built a perfectly reasonable bonfire.

Was it twelve feet tall?

Yes.

Did we use half a gallon of gasoline to start it?

That's irrelevant.

And was there an old recliner somewhere near the bottom?

Allegedly.

Everything was going just fine...

Until Mud ...
