When you play with fire you might get burned…unless you have a cab!
What happens here
After gathering the cleared vegetation into large piles, a common method for disposal is controlled burning. The video shows significant smoke rising from a large pile of wood debris, indicating an active burn. The excavator is used to manage the burning pile, pushing unburnt material into the flames to ensure a more complete combustion and to consolidate the fire. This process reduces the volume of organic waste, turning it into ash that can be spread or removed.
Goal: Dispose of cleared vegetation by burning it in a controlled manner.
