[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1811736, member: 16453"] I've had a couple of close calls with my excavator and dozer just recently. The dozer I was pushing up a fairly hot fire and a hose to the blade burst shooting oil straight onto the fire. I saw the flames shoot up the stream of oil. It was only because I pannicked to get out of there I took my hand off the lift lever and the oil flow stopped. The excavator blew a hose from the control block to the swivel block. The oil stream just happened to shoot through an opening in the metal work where a hose went through to the engine compartment and went straight onto the hot exhaust. I don't know how flammable that situation would have been but I certainly had a lot of smoke coming from it. I keep a piddly little extinguisher on the machines but don't think they would be of much use in these situations. I do have a big extinguisher as well but often forget to put it in the truck. Did your dog get caught in the grass fire Dave? Ken [/QUOTE]
