Shoutout to the Fire House

Although it wasn't on the official map for the Halloween House Competition, we'd be remiss not to highlight this house that was decorated in 2023 to look like it was on fire - so much so, that neighbors believed it was and called the fire department. The story made the national news on USA Today!
