On the day of Jan. 2 2008, a nice game of paintball between the Hillcrest Wrestling Team quickly turned ugly when an open field caught fire becuase of a fire work (Roman Candle) that was set off by one of the wrestlers. The few wrestlers that were sittin the particular game of paintball out, quickly acted on the fire trying to put it out.
It appeared to be under control until a big gust of wind spread it. Seeing the severity of the situation they jumped in all the cars that were parked and found the keys and moved the cars before they all exploded. A fellow wrestler saw the fire creeping up under the cars, and knowing that the car could blow up at any moment ran like there was no tomorrw, in the other direction. At that moment the rest of the wrestlers came flying out of the woods. They began to stomp out the flames like crazy. They also found that smacking the flames with their sweatshirts was an effective way of puttin the fire out. Meanwhile the coach looked on laughing at his wrestlers frantically trying to put out the fire. Another fellow wrestler, by the name of Wes Younts tried a unique way of putting out the fire, shooting it with a paintball gun. Seeing right away that, that didnt work he went back to laughing at everybody else.
The fire was eventually brought under control. No one was hurt and everyone survived. This blog is for all those brave men who risked their lives to put out the fire, and for all who admire and support them.
