Hanging around this property in Atlanta, Georgia, a group of young men appear entirely unconcerned about the fire that’s blazing away on their porch.
On closer inspection we can see that this guy is on the phone – so perhaps he’s calling the fire department? Although if he is, then he doesn’t look overly concerned.
The fire isn’t that big however, so why aren’t they trying to put it out? And what is it that’s burning up there anyway?
Thanks to Syl.

Nope…just go one click to the east and you can see it’s a barbecue on the porch.
Looks like a grill to me, or they may be burning something to stay warm, as they are all wearing heavy coats, it may be winter time. But, having fire that close to my house would sure make me nervous….
welcome to the dirty south
Now that’s a fire.
I’d say it’s a barbecue…
They don’t call it Hot ‘Lanta fer nuthin’.
It rather looks like one of these.
They definitely shouldn’t be doing that on the porch though. The whole house is no doubt filling with charcoal starter vapors and smoke.

No doubt a charcoal grill
