It must have been a very small forest fire. It is a good thing she kept it from spreading though.

good effort, but kicking the leaf litter back to make a fuel break may have been easier

Years ago a buddy in MN wanted to burn a brush pile and it ended up as an out of control grassfire. All we had was rakes and stuff that couldn’t stop it from spreading but when the rural fire dept. got there with their grass rig, it was nothing but a pickup with a couple hundred gallon tank and spray hose like a weed sprayer. It was amazing how little water it took. Probably a little more than the 3 cases of beer we dropped off but not much.

Anyone else remember the lyrics to ‘Old Dan Tucker’?
Or am I the only one here who grew up in Mayberry.
