I love this line:
"Municipal fire crews, aided by regional firefighters, ripped away metal
siding to shoot water directly onto the hops."

I can just visualize it. All these guys...hundreds of them, barehanded,
ripping away the glowing hot siding. Garden hoses and squit guns along with
the fire hoses.....

Northwest brewers are allready planning new brews to utilize the ashes
and chared remains of the hops. Watch for brews commerating fire
companys, major forest fires, firemen etc.

Strangely, this happens almost every year... I think it's part of the hop
grower's marketing plan.

And BTW, hop smoke gives me hay fever.... ahhhh chooo..........
