I figure you can’t have too many caption contests that have fire in them, can you? Either way, this week’s episode does.
It you want actual context, this is a fire on Mount McLean in Canada. But of course, you are welcome (and encouraged) to make up your own story / backstory for this. There’s lots of potential here, with a group of people sitting on their back porch watching a raging wildfire. What are they talking about? What will they do? Who is responsible for this catastrophe?

The use of flamethrowers as toys is frowned upon since the burning-down-the-mountain incident.

Hidden Camera Prank: We’ve secretly replaced the meteor shower with a mountain of fire. Let’s see if they notice.

I think the charcoal is hot enough, go ahead and put the burgers on.

Burninating the countryside!

Baseball-capped man in the middle says, “You call this a fire? I light cigarettes more impressive than this!”
Joseph Fenster
Liar Liar, your forest is on fire.

When the golf course somehow managed to run gasoline through the irrigation system rather than water, the inevitable results were quite impressive.

Baseball-capped man in the middle to standing guy says “well Bob… you are right! your new 240” hdtv ROCKS!!! it’s a pity that after buying it you can’t afford any furniture but camping chairs to watch it from.

Today’s forecast: Partly cloudy with a 60% chance of apocalypse.
Mr. Destructo
This could’ve been caused by a thrown cigarette, or an abandoned campfire, or (far less plausible, but theoretically possible, depending on which ill-defined Grand Unifying Theory of physics one subscribes to), some random fluctuation in the space-time continuum might have produced a shatteringly brief but nonetheless real electromagnetic discombobulation which caused the mountain to spontaneously combust into flames.
Thomas Wayne
Man in middle: “Burford, I’m sure glad you suggested we get that helicopter last week just in case something like this happened. It’s almost like you knew something…”
Thomas Wayne
I don’t know what happened, but I bet you a dollar a donut that the Important Evil Genius is behind this… Wait, I take that back — he’s too incompetent to cause this much devastation… unless maybe he accidentally blew up his secret lair that was in the base of a volcano… I could see that happening…
Fab
Mmmmmmm! Donuts!
Beamis
Paw: “Boys, did you set fire to Anderson’s toolshed again?”
Beamis: “Uhh, no, that was other kids.”
Casey Ryan
Is it too late to buy some of that firefighting foam from Casey?!
BeBop
hahahaha!
Beppo, MangoMan, Holiday Inn Express, and BeBop attend the Bachelor Pad Reunion and **”celebrate” outside Beppo’s back porch!
**Nobody from said Bachelor Pad claims responsibility for above “celebration”.

Love is like a fire — you never know if it will warm your hearth or burn down your house.

Some oxygen molecules help fires burn while others help to make water. So, sometimes it’s brother against brother.

I guess Mr. Destructo (if that’s his real name) had his flame-thrower revenge on the bird in the previous caption contest. This just goes to show that you don’t mess with a man’s ice cream cone!
Crappo the Clown
Woman: “Honey, are we in danger?”
Man in middle: “The wind is obviously blowing in a southerly direction, so we’re okay.”
Boy on right: “I got your southerly wind!”
Thomas Wayne
How was I supposed to know gasoline didn’t put out fires?
Thomas Wayne
Man in middle: “I seem to remember some guy at work named Milton Waddams mumbling something about setting the building on fire if they took his stapler, but I didn’t know he was serious!”
Holiday Inn Express
Fall in this forest is quite spectacular. The leaves turn a bright shade of red, yellow, and orange.
Beppo
For them to be sitting around during a fire that intense is absolutely, totally, and in all other ways, inconceivable.
Beppo
Lightning, not people, starts most forest fires, but don’t spread it around… Smokey the Bear could lose his job.
Mr. Destructo
What we have here is a conflagration!

As a guy named Kenny once said, “know when to walk away, know when to run.”
