[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 3759732, member: 26737"] After my old boss fought a grass fire near his house about ten years ago, the firefighters told him that he probably hadn't had much to worry about because his house had a brick facade and he kept the area around the house clean and the lawn trimmed. IIRC, they told him what normally gets brick houses in a grass fire is having combustible stuff piled up next the the house or having tall shrubs (or even worse, cedars) that can bring the flames up to the roof, so your best insurance, as Mark Novak would say, is "do the maintenance." I wouldn't mess with anything small enough for an ATV to tow; water is heavy in quantity (roughly 8 pounds to the gallon), plus you have the problem of running the pump. The idea of an IBC tote on a trailer is good, but I'd consider coupling it with a PTO-driven pump and pulling it behind your tractor. [/QUOTE]
