[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 3293144, member: 29706"] You can't fix stupid... I constantly see houses with grass that has never been mowed and cars parked in the grass. If a fire does come through or the exhaust on a vehicle catches the grass the cars and likely the house will go up. All they have to do is mow and keep the grass short and it makes a world of difference. Also had a friend north of Lawton that had a house out in the boonies. Fire went through one year and they has some small issues but nothing major. A few people who just let the grass go wild lost their houses. One house was at the top of a hill and while it would have been tough just going through a couple times of year, especially when the grass quits growing and knocking the grass down with a weed eater would have probably saved their house. Out of all the houses out in that area the one that had nearly no issue (other than a small patch of yard burned) was a house that had most everything mowed down. Most of the places were not kept mowed and had issues that year. And when there is a fire on the news it never fails there is a house, or barn, or car, or rv that catches fire that is in the tall grass unkempt trees. [/QUOTE]
