Title: Grassland fire
Post by: oakranger on March 20, 2009, 06:25:35 PM

Its getting time for Kansas grassland on fire.  This pix was taken last Saturday morning 1:30 am.  Air temp 55 degree, slight south wind 10 mph, dew point 40%.  This land was about 800 ac., the biggest prescribed burning i have done was around 3000 acres. Took 4 hours but it was fun.  fireline close to a mile long.  A nice slow burn, however, this rancher is a month early to burn.  The ideal time to burn in this area is early April to mid May.

We usually light up Southern California in the fall after a long dry summer while Santa Ana winds roar through.   Then we like to burn up areas the size of New Hampshire.  Pics of SoCal fires are usually on the new.

HONK!
