Accidents happen all of the time but, the result is usually never a forest fire. Atlanta Braves third baseman Chipper Jones accidentally started a forest fire while doing his daily house chores.
Lol. Tried to do my daily chores and cleaned out the fireplace. Went and dumped the ashes. Alls good right? Nope. Set the woods on fire! Ugh

I got firefighters all over my place! Thank you Roswell Fire Dept.

The good thing is no one got hurt. Hopefully, Jones will make sure next time to throw the ashes out on an area that cannot catch on fire.
