[QUOTE="Tanis143, post: 3293182, member: 43724"] I remember that thread, thats even crazier. At least in my situation there were 10-15 people who knew where the fire was and worked together to put it out. When I left the house the only hotspot left was the limb/branch pile and it was contained and watched. The amazing thing to me was how fast and far it spread. I've never really seen a grass fire up close. But when I walked into the house there was nothing outside in the front. By the time I was finished maybe 20 minutes later I could smell the smoke in the den where I was working but the fire had spread from the stump in the back yard (about 50-60 yards from the house) to cover the entire back yard, his west neighbors entire side and front yard and part of his east neighbors back yard. It got hot enough that several pieces of wood were already charcoal. The winds today were not even that strong, 2-4 MPH with gusts maybe up to 10 if that. If the winds had been higher, man that would have been a disaster as the property is lined with wooded area. [/QUOTE]
