Coach Cardinal was cold. He found an old wooden bat that was broken and he found a box of matches. So he decided to burn the bat not taking into consideration the wind! Plus he had no way to put out the fire if he needed to. When the fire started getting bigger Coach Cardinal called 911 and the Grottoes Fire Dept. responded quickly and put out the fire. Coach Cardinal was very thankful that the firefighters were there to prevent him from making a huge mistake.
