If he’d used Miller, he could have had the horse deliver it personally! The house effect might’ve helped with the fire.

While he was drinking the Labatt’s Blue.

Yes, a very practical use for Budweiser beer.

Cool horses though, give them credit.

He could have drank them first and then hosed the flames out.

“Man uses Bud Lite to keep wildfire flames away from California home”

Humans have been using water to fight fires for thousands of years. Big deal.

Bud Light?

Was it fresh from the can. Or filtered through his kidneys?

Given the situation, I might have passed those Budweisers over my kidneys first. Then I would at least have an aim-able hose.

Most building/home fires in a forest fire start in the edge of the roof / overhang. This is due to how the embers flow down the edge of the roof and can collect there or under the eves.

I have a buddy who protected his mountain cabin by setting a lawn sprinkler on top of his roof and just let it “water” his cabin. Yeah, several near by trees burned along with his garage, but his cabin was fine despite being completely surrounded by a forest fire. It is amazing to me how just a little bit of water can prevent something from burning down.

“Little pulled away some sheet metal from the wall of his workshop and used an exposed nail to pop holes in the cans”

Adapt, improvise and overcome...I like it!

Because it contains more H2O than Cali tap water.
