Prescribed Burning

-Prescribed Burning-

Prescribed burning is another aspect of fire. We intentionally set fire to the forests to help keep them cleaned out so there is not much left to burn if a big fire hits the area. Often it is a chance to see a lot of flame. I think I have seen the biggest flames on a prescribed burn. We can sometimes use ATV's to set our prescribed burning. There is nothing like the feeling of hauling ass through the woods on an ATV with a dripping stream of fuel behind you .

Here's one of the bikes we use to do the lighting. It drips a deisel and gasoline mix from the stinger on the rear.
We try not to have too much fun.
