Applying Fuel and Preparing for Ignition
At 5:30 in
LAST SUNDAY'S EVENTS LEADING TO THE FIRE!! AND VISIT WITH THE GOATS!
What happens here
The farmer prepares to light a new burn pile, which is described as being approximately the size of a '1200 square foot, two-bedroom house.' He emphasizes using 'approved fuel sources' by the 'Forestry Service.' The primary fuel used is old diesel fuel, collected in a 'cool vintage old gas can' (Shell brand). He pours the old diesel fuel liberally onto the burn pile, focusing on the back (downwind) side. This strategy aims to initiate a slower burn, reducing the risk of rapid ignition and excessive ember spread, which would otherwise be a concern in windy conditions.
Goal: Prepare a new burn pile for ignition using approved fuels and techniques.
