Huge brush fire covers mountainside at my parents farm!
What happens here
Josh stands in front of a massive, actively burning brush pile. He explains that this is a "big fire" and covers approximately a quarter of an acre. The fire is intended to clear the extensive timber debris. He expresses disappointment with the forestry workers for leaving such a large mess, which now requires significant effort to clean up. While not explicitly shown, the brush would have been pushed into a pile and then ignited.
Goal: Begin the disposal of timber debris through controlled burning.
Tools and materials
- Fire extinguisher — To control and extinguish the fire if necessary
