THE MOST DANGEROUS THING ON ANY FARM!! AND...FARM CHORES/TRACTOR WORK/FUN!

What happens here

Before igniting large brush piles, it is imperative to secure burn permits from local authorities, such as the forest service, and to confirm there are no active burning bans. Once permits are obtained, contact the non-emergency line of the local sheriff's office to report the planned burning activity, specifying the address and the type of material being burned. The video shows these piles actively smoldering days after ignition, indicating intense heat and a prolonged burn time. Safety measures should be paramount due to the high risk of uncontrolled fires, especially with shifting wind conditions.

Goal: Safely dispose of non-compostable woody biomass through controlled burning.

Tools and materials

  • Burn permit Local Forest Service — Legal authorization for burning

here so the way this thing works if you decide to burn you have to contact the Forest Service and get what's called a burn permit you get your burn permit you make sure there are no burning bans in your County or in your area and then you call the 9-1-1 non-emergency line the sheriff's office line and you report and tell them hey we're going to be doing some burning here's the address this is what we're doing this is what we're burning now the fire department got called on us anyway I don't know how that slipped through the cracks but we had this pile to burn and there's another pile way on down in there that we burned and it was pretty small but this thing right here I don't know if you can tell the scale of this but it's probably the floor space of four houses okay and the the height of it it was at least 12 feet high now we're probably down to like 4 feet high and it's gonna sit here and probably smolder for a week or so so let's go over and I'll show you what the burn piles look like they're right over here we'll go get a close-up of what they look like before this right here ok so just to give it some scale here's the Gator and here is the burn pile it just keeps going and going and going so we've got to burn piles over here that we're gonna be burning and basically that's the only way to get rid of it unless we just let it sit there and rot and make a breeding ground for snakes but you know it could be good for rabbits and stuff like that we also have one more big burning pile over here what
