AAh. This is why I love internet forums.It's a wonder we haven't set fire to all our forests! These numbskulls could have at least clearcut alittle around the fire. I wonder how they would have put out the fire if it got away from them.
Actually where I'm from is not even forested, but my burn permit would have required me to pay for a volunteer fire dept. truck to sit onsite for the burn and bare-earth at least 50 ft all the way around. I've personally seen the wind come up quick on a fire like that and make it really take off. It sounds like in the next thread that you blew a hydraulic hose, so your loader would have been useless if you would have had to contain the fire. Have you ever tried to put a fire that size out with extinguishers?AAh. This is why I love internet forums.
That video was me.
While I wont go into what safety equipment and fire suppression resources were on site, I assure you, there was little chance of buring the forest down.
As for me getting too close to the fire, well the camera makes it look a bit more 'extreme' than reality.
I'm hardly a numbskull, but thanks for your opinion!
