More hypocrisy from the left wing

[lyman]

my shop is in a wooded neighborhood, and my house is next to a state park,

we burn every so often, usually once a year, maybe 2 times ,

always in the rain, or snow,

Normally I try to burn brush when its at least damp. The key is that there can be no wind.

If it's not grassy then one suggestion would be to rake a ring around 3 feet wide around the brush pile, down to bare dirt, with the ring itself being a few feet out from the pile. Then start first by burning off the leaf litter around the inner edge of the "scratchline" as it is called. That raking and good black is your friend for keeping the bigger fire contained. And if an act of God like a sudden wind leaves you to answer later for an escape, you can point to some evidence that you tried to do it the right way. We burn every spring and there is public land heavy fuel adjacent to the east. For large areas a steady wind with good breaks and backfires is preferable to light winds, which can more easily shift direction.

It's been my experience that when you start a fire, the wind suddenly springs up. That's why I ALWAYS plan for wind.

I make a firebreak all around the area I'm burning, then light the fire on the downwind side, then on the upwind side and let it all burn into the center.
