If your S.O.'s drunk / high 35 year old son set a bonfire in the carport, would you approve?

Woke up more than a little pissed off today after my girlfriend posted a photo of her drunk and high 35 year old son admiring the bonfire he set in the carport last night. It's one of those metal canopy things. He's holding a beer in the photo, but then again, when isn't he? I mean, beer, weed and fire...nothing could go wrong there, right?

I'm not sure that would be my SO any longer, if so. Just sayin... This seems a recipe for disaster in multiple ways. :srug:

As long as the carport is an all-metal (or metal and concrete) structure with sufficient clearance and open on both ends for ventilation, it's about as dangerous as a bonfire in the backyard. (Which is to say relatively not-at-all.)

I have those a lot too, on less-windy days.
