[QUOTE="gman4691, post: 1834128, member: 43107"] Just got off the phone with our local VFD. They are eager to assist with burning off the giant brush pile from cutting up downed trees over the last several years and burning off the back pasture that I just finished mowing. No charge but they ask for a donation if you are able (I will give them a good one). A good burn would do wonders for that back pasture. Not much in the way of fall-winter grass out there so the vast majority is dormant - probably won't take long to knock it out (just a matter of keeping it out of the surrounding woods). Going to meet with the guy tomorrow AM and show him the "targets". He seemed eager to assist. I suppose their guys can use it towards maintaining their certifications. I am pumped. There is a local outfit that will do it but they would probably charge alot more than I would be able to pay. This could turn out well for all parties involved. I'll let you know how it went...hopefully, we won't burn the place to the ground...lol. Fire it up! We do a lot of prescribed burning in the parks...the park I manage is all wooded and those fires never get out of hand (so far). What I'd like these guys to burn is pretty clear so there's very little potential to cause a wildfire. I would burn the brush myself and probably could without incident but I don't have the equipment to handle things should it get out of hand. Just not that brave, I suppose. If these guys roll with a brush truck and a tanker, it can be done a lot safer for my taste. [/QUOTE]
