[QUOTE="OkieJoe72, post: 3828572, member: 48447"] I spent most of the day yesterday dealing with wildfire issues for a third day. Received a call about 7:30 yesterday morning from a volunteer firefighter that told me that the county emergency services had made the decision to back burn a pasture of mine. I had around 60 round bales still in the pasture along with some other equipment. By the time I got to the pasture, the county had already graded a fire break line through it. In my opinion this was completely unnecessary, but there wasn’t anything I could do about it. They told me that I had about 3 hours to get the hay out of there. I made arrangements for the hay to be hauled out, and I got my equipment out of there. About 30 minutes after getting everything off the pasture, the guy in charge stopped by and informed me that they had changed their plans, and the pasture wouldn’t be back burned. At this point, I was pretty aggravated because I felt it was not necessary to even consider a back burn. With everything off the pasture, I wanted it to be burned because it will actually be good for it in the long run. I tried to talk them into burning it, but as of yesterday evening it was still an empty unburned pasture. The volunteer firefighters have done a great job in fighting this fire, but I’m not happy with our county emergency services right now. The graders tore out a 30 foot wide fire break the entire length of the pasture which was good quality prairie grass, and they also drove through the fences at both ends which had gates about 50 feet away.
