Fire
In 2002 a large portion of Fort Hunter Liggett was scorched by an accidental fire resulting from an improperly detonated hand grenade. No injuries were reported but the fire did consume several outbuildings. As a result, soldiers participating in live fire exercises are no longer allowed to detonate hand grenades without special permission from the Fort Hunter Liggett Fire Department.

Famous quotes containing the word fire:
“Tell a man whose house is on fire to give a moderate alarm; tell him to moderately rescue his wife from the hands of the ravisher; tell the mother to gradually extricate her babe from the fire into which it has fallen; but urge me not to use moderation in a case like the present.”
—William Lloyd Garrison (1805–1879)
“a man sleeps where fire leapt down and she learns through his arm
That other sun, the jealous coursing of the unrivalled blood.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“And taken by light in her arms at long and dear last
I may without fail
Suffer the first vision that set fire to the stars.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
