Thread Name: BS: Is anyone in fire danger?
Subject: RE: BS: Is anyone in fire danger?
Bob...My thoughts are with you. All of us who live in fire areas know the sort of 6th sense that develops in long very hot dry spells. Very glad you came thru this close call...will keep my fingers X'd for all who live in fire danger. Last bad one thru this area was not long ago, and with dry conditions and high temps now, even cutting the barley here, that puts us all at risk, can cause a fire, from catalytic converter or sparks from a rock. All tractor work is banned here past 10AM for that reason. Scary as grass fires are, however, I don't think there is anything more frightening than a tall tree fire that "goes to crownin'" as one old-timer put it. Stay safe.    nancy
