[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 831584, member: 4362"] Burning on a weekend is not a good idea since you have drunk drivers and the forestry people will be off work and will have to come in to respond if it gets out. This will add an extra 1/2 hour to their response time. Not good. I'd suggest having a tractor and harrow on site and don't turn it off. A four wheeler with some water would be great too. Start the burn on the downwind side and slowly work your way upwind keeping in mind that the wind should shift in a clockwise manner if its going to shift. Be patient. Once you get it going well and backed off the breaks, run around it as fast as you can and ring the thing and get it over with. Once rung, the fire will pull toward the center and send any ash way up into the air and it will cool before it sees ground again. Also, be really careful with irregularly shaped fields or corners. You need to square it as much as possible. This can take some time getting it squared up. [/QUOTE]
