[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4072711, member: 15054"] Buddy and I used to make fires as kids and then stomp them out. See how big you can make them and still get them stomped out. 2 years ago driving down the highway almost to the Douglas exit I seen a fire on the side of the road in the grass ahead of us. 12MPH winds or so blowing it towards some barbed wire fence and some much taller grass. Need to get it out fast before it hits that field. Much larger than any we ever tried to stomp out. I asked my buddy you think we can stomp that one out. I don't know it's pretty big. I said I have carpet in the trunk (I cut house carpet to fit perfectly in the corolla trunk. I said one can drag it and the other guy goes behind him and stomp what's left. I pulled past the fire. I had the trunk popped before I stopped and we bailed out. I seen a small ditch with water in it and had my buddy toss me the carpet. I soaked it and tossed it back up to him and he began dragging it and I walked behind him crushing the dry brown grass and eliminating the leftover embers. We had about 1 foot of fire left to put out when the fire truck showed up. I had them rinse my carpet off as it was smoldering. Not one to litterbug I rolled it up and into the trunk it went and it left a juicy stinky mess in the trunk. Worth it. I think that wet carpet did very well. [/QUOTE]
