Thanks:)

I've lived here for 25 years, and this "mountain" I live on burns about every year. Some one's trash or something gets loose. I know fires can be serious, but I've kind of learned after all these years that at least in this area they're not that bad. We don't have lush grass, mostly lots of leaves and they burn slow and not all that hot because they're so thick they stay damp even during the summer. I've tried lots of times to burn them off.

Right now on my property theres' just nothing left to burn. The horses have cleaned it all up down to the dirt, and with the wind almost all the leaves have blown away.

My father used to say that you had to respect the power but not be afraid. He applied that to fire. You understand. Thanks for the insight.
