You are sadly mistaken. When I had a smaller fire go through about 4 years the county fire chief was very happy that my track was there. It acted as a natural fire break and prevented properties on the North and East of me from getting any damage. It also allowed them to get the fire under control because the large cleared areas saved them a ton of work when they had cats come in to make a new fire break because it had jumped the first one. Then even said my neighbors shouldn't complain at all about the track being there since it saved their properties. They went around the track because there is lots of peat moss and roots that can potentially burn for years. Most of the small piles around the track are less than 2 ft. high and the tree's had been cut up a few years ago. My neighbors property was also dug up for the same reason. They also dug up a lot of places that have never been cleared because of the peat moss. Next you're going to tell me that all the farmers that have cleared bush and left piles to rot in plain sight should be fined for not disposing of the piles. Maybe having tree's in the first place shouldn't be allowed because they can burn. Maybe houses shouldn't be made with any flammable materials like wood because it can burn. Your logic makes no sense. You don't even need a permit to clear tree's on your own property. Please show me some official rules or laws regarding clearing tree's and disposing of brush piles on private land. I also have several dugouts that would normally be full of water at this time but are low because of lack of rain last year and very dry conditions. You should get your facts straight before you start trying to invent reasons why I'm responsible for an out of control wildfire going through my property. Had they not waited so long, they might have been successful using the track as a natural fire break for this fire. The cats were sitting a mile away for 4 hours and they only decided to do drive them to the track when the fire jumped the first fire break. By the time they got there the fire was literally on top of them. If my property was such a fire hazard why would they send the cats in there in the first place? The operator with an open cab sure wasn't complaing about the track being there. He said if the track hadn't been there, he doesn't think he would have made it! That's a pretty strong statement... in my favor! It would have been beyond devasting if someone had died trying to fight the fire. That's why the Division supervisor from SRD, that gave me a mask to wear, made such a big deal about the idiot sending the cats in when he did. Dave

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned.
