It is usually the practice of the people of kalax to clear the bush paths during the end of the year preceding Christmas and new year celebrations. Both the young and old usually join in the roads clearing or bush paths clearing. Any defaulters usually pay some fines.
Whenever the bushes are cut they usually gather them together in heaps and wait for it to dry before setting fire to them. If it is it dey and fire is set on them it leaves an unpleasant sight and if it is not gathered in heaps and fire is set on it, such can cause serious fire outbreak spreading to other areas not intended for such.
That was the state of the bush paths when Jones came home from his sojourn.in search of greener pasture. With his lighter in his hand and as he was passing through the cleared areas he saw the heaps gathered and he decided to set the fire on them. Unfortunately for him it was a windy day. The fire started burning and got out of control spreading to other parts of the community farm destroying people's crops. It took the timely intervention of the youth to quench the raging fire.
After the incident Jones apologized to all for his uncanny behaviour which has triggered an emergency situation in the community. Thanks to God that it was brought under control.
