[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 2501959, member: 29706"] Yeah, it's good to try and keep it from spreading when it's happening but even better to mow it down before hand. A 75 to 100 foot swath between tree lines and yards cut to 3-4 inches and raked up can do a whole lot to stop it if it does get started and another 75 to 100 feet around structures cut like a lawn will save homes. The fires near the refuge a couple years ago took some houses near someone I knew. The house that fared the best had a huge lawn all the way around. It's just like the burn bans, can't do things reactionary have to be precautionary. From my understanding though the controlled burn was yesterday but should have been planned out a bit better (day before supposed to rain) or had the fire department involved to make sure everything would be out by days end. Now some people have lost their homes and someone is going to be on the hook for it all. [/QUOTE]
