People lighting political signs on fire in NH

[KK9]

This came across the Twitter feed that I follow that covers emergency services in my area (Nashua, NH and several nearby Massachusetts towns). Tyngsboro is between me and Nashua. About 8:30 last night.

NASHUA | NH |**FIRE ACTIVITY**| COVERAGE AREA OF E6 & E3 | REPORTED VANDALS DRIVING AROUND SETTING POLITICAL SIGNS ON FIRE IN MIDDLE OF RDS

The engines referenced cover two residential areas in south Nashua, just north of the Mass border. I don't care whose signs they are burning, this is extremely irresponsible. This whole area is in an extreme drought, with some private wells failing and most towns banning outside water use altogether, to preserve water for drinking and firefighting. Fortunately, it rained heavily this morning, but really, this is NOT cool.

This election cannot be over soon enough.

1. In years past I've had my signs stolen

My solution was to put a motion activated sprinker (and game cam) behind the signs. They walk up to take it, and it sets off the sprinkler, and takes a photo. I guess it situations like this a sprinkler would work as well.
