[QUOTE="dun, post: 1269026, member: 34"] I had one field that burned because of my stupidity. I was checking to see if it was dry enough so a took a handful and lit it. All it did was smoked, too wet to brun that day. I dropped it and just as I stomped on it a gust of wind hit. Lo and behold, it wasn;t too wet afterall. The fire took off like a shot so I got infront of it and stomped it out, just as the wind shifted 90 degrees, almost got it stomped out and the wind shifted again. I couldn;t run fast enough to get in front of it. Ran to the house and called it in then went to work trying to get it out or at least corraled. Volunteers were here in about 10 minutes with a pumper truck, no water supply anywhere near the fire. They had it out in a matter of minutes. Burned some fence posts, melted some insulated hot wire but other then feeling like a jackass no harm done. You would be correct if you figured I paid my dues without complaint. [/QUOTE]
