Chipper Jones started a forest fire in his backyard
Chipper Jones was just trying to do something helpful around the house when he cleaned out his fireplace on Wednesday, but he inadvertently ended up starting a mini forest fire in his backyard.
The former Atlanta Braves legend tweeted about the entire affair. We’ll let him take it from here:
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

Yikes, that actually looks pretty scary. Hopefully the fire department handled the situation.
Come on, Larry Wayne, you should know better.
