A burning pile of mulch VI

Now the Helotes mulch fire has its own line of memorabilia.

A man who does not live far from the burning compost fire in Helotes has figured out a way to make money off of it by starting a side business of "Helotes Fire Attire,” News 4 WOAI learned Tuesday. ...

Now, you can buy Helotes Mulch Fire t-shirts, mugs, aprons, and even the Helotes fire trucker cap online. [John] Largent even created a spot on his website for folks to come up with catchy slogans about the fire.

Largent told News 4 WOAI he understands the seriousness of the situation, but he said this is his way to help. Largent said any money made will go to the Helotes Volunteer Fire Department.
