Fire Danger

L and his nephew went to some more fires during the week, about an hour north of us. Below we chronicle their valiant efforts to control the fire they went to on Tuesday. As you can see, it didn't all go to plan this time...















Back-burning the fire break
















Producing a little smoke - that made it all the way to town!
















Back-burn going wrong ............
















and getting worse ................
















The fire jumped the break behind us ........

















The end result of the fire getting a bit close, there
was smoke coming out of the engine bay as well
















This time it went right.
















Refilling with water again and again and again .......
















But yet again it jumped the breaks .......
