Morning guys. Not good about the fires.

Nope was 2 in our County yesterday alone and just over 8 so far this harvest depending who you talk to.

Good thing everyone is prepared with equipment and chips in.

Yep everyone has big water trucks, tractors and discs and portable fire fighting equipment in fast movers in each field. Our community has a great fire association with great and new equipment and training but sadly are all volunteers. They are all farmers that must drop everything when called and drive to town, suit up and drive the equipment to the fire. Response times for some can be 20-30 minutes depending how far away you are from town. You need to have your own equipment to try and control it till they can get there.
