Burning Bridges

I cannot promise anything

🔥🔥🔥🔥

But fire pretty

Back when I travelled a lot I discovered that many bridges were constructed mostly of wood. Therefore they were flammable. During local/residential disputes bridges would be burned to prohibit or disrupt social functions and trades. Usually, such acts were done by disgruntled individuals under the cover of night and most folks in the community disagreed with their actions. Many times there would be no punishment for the perpetrator and the community would wait long periods of time before repairing the bridge. Sometimes myths or lore would develop as to why bridges were burned in the first place and eventually new generations would restore said bridges as symbolic gestures of peace and restoration (even if the restoration brought no material benefits by that time).

Wooden bridges make good fuel for fire 🔥

Not really as they are suspended over running water.

Well woopty-doo.
