Recommending someone with no fire experience to burn their own place is disastrous advice. That’s lead to MANY wildfires and court decisions that didn’t end favororably for the one who lit the torch. I’m all for private landowners burning and encourage it with many I work with. Turning them loose with no training or understanding of fire behavior is not good.
This is good advise. Ive burnt off several fields before planting, im talking about 2-5acres, not a big fire. It is a very helpless feeling when the wind shifts or if the fire escalates a little quicker than expected. I couldnt imagine a big fire in the woods that gets out of control. Theres alot of ways a man could die in that situation, not to mention the property damage.
