[QUOTE="Snattlerake, post: 3293311, member: 44288"] While living on the farm it was during the cold winter months that we always carried a shovel and fire extinguisher in our cars and trucks. Just a spark from a hammer or the heat from a catalytic converter would set the Bermuda grass on fire. You can hardly see short grass on fire because there is almost no smoke and on a bright day it's hard to see the flames. It doesn't flare up or char the dead grass. If there is a breeze it generally follows the wind and you can reasonably follow the track and get in front of it to stop it. If there is no breeze you're in trouble because the fire spreads out 360 degrees. Beating it with a cloth is plain stupid as it fans the flames and spreads more sparks and embers. We found fighting it by watering the grass in front of it is the best way. Second is digging a fire break. [/QUOTE]
