    Chopping down brush and soaking it down. Then watering the roof. [:D] Good thing it's moving away. Best of luck.

    I had the misfortune to watch my neighbors home burn down,while the VFC zoomed right past.
    My prayers are asked that the wind stays in your favor and that few if any suffer the wrath of that blaze...

    Direction it is going is real rugged country with few homes. So that is good.

    But Hunting season starts tommorow and the News is really playing up the driest year ever for this area.

    Well sir; I hope this one don't hurt anyone and just takes out some of the underbrush that the GREENIES don't want fired off...
    Prescribed burning goes back to the Native Americans, they knew the proper ways..

    You should see the undergrowth deer are even having a hard time getting thru it.

    Whats real funny was in 1995 I was attending the U of O taking environmental studies as my Major. In my Forestry classes the Professor was for prescribed Burn and showed how bad not having then were to the forest.

    Actually Yes there has. Was a warning on the news today about some for Tommorrow.
    But all they burn is Marchy areas, to get ready for spring.

    They even stoped grass Farmers from burning their fields after the seed is collected. They used to burn to keep the seed weed free.

    quote:FERN RIDGE, Ore. - People living in the Fern Ridge area may notice a hazy atmosphere this weekend.

    That's because the BLM will be doing some prescribed burns near the intersection of Royal Avenue and Fisher.

    The burning will start Saturday and continue through Sunday, when there will be a burn near Danebo.

    The BLM says these burns are important, since they reduce dead vegetation and lower the chances of wildfires.


    No Private land owners cannot burn and will not get a permit. These areas they are burning in the above article are areas for Duck hunting.[?][?][?]

    And I called them wrong above they are Wetlands.
