Several years ago, I burned down an apple tree and part of our cedar fence in the back yard. I just turned my head for second and a gust of wind blew sparks over to the tree and it went off like a bomb!! Luckily, I had my garden hose handy and was able to get the fire out before the whole neighbourhood was engulfed. It sure taught me a lesson - I haven't burned in the back yard ever since!!Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16523089898331291694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6192913928006796095.post-20126803351325846092010-03-31T10:27:17.494-05:002010-03-31T10:27:17.494-05:00I burned yard debris at my place in NC, and once i...I burned yard debris at my place in NC, and once in a while it got a little bigger than I had intended.

We have mostly pine needles instead of leaves & I rake them up & burn them in the firepit. Know what you mean by having a small fire get away from you. It definitely gets the heart to pumping faster alright.Al Bossencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04307619781955351484noreply@blogger.com
