You might have accidentally set a small fire while trying to clean out ashes. You might have even had to call the fire department. Well, not only does Chipper Jones have you beat on that (he set an actual forest fire near his home outside Roswell, Ga. Wednesday night), he decided to document his mistake for a jury everybody to see.
Crave’s NESN posted the stream of Tweets from Jones as the retired Atlanta Braves star watched as the forest around his home burned.
Lol. Tried to do my daily chores and cleaned out the fireplace. Went and dumped the ashes. Alls good right? Nope. Set the woods on fire! Ugh

I got firefighters all over my place! Thank you Roswell Fire Dept.

Thankfully, Jones says firefighters were there within five minutes and damage around his property was minimal.
