I saw a fire on a hill adjoining my property and ran with tools I could find. A spade was useful. A pitchfork was the stupidest tool that was useless. Anything for flattening brush is good. Anything for creating gaps in grass fires. Blankets might have even changed the whole equation. I would also be cutting any tall grass in the area. And dressing more appropriately as the glare from the fire is intense.
yeah I am hearing about the dressing up - I have to go find my winter stuff .......... and my steel cap boots ........

One interesting thing is my property used to be owned by a European who planted European Maple trees and that is where the fire stopped. Certain trees don't burn and their dry leaves don't even burn well.[DOUBLEPOST=1452205857][/DOUBLEPOST]
The same piece of grass is much more dangerous upright.
I would be raking away from the property and using garden shears to flatten anything dry right now, even just creating breaksyeah I am hearing about the dressing up - I have to go find my winter stuff .......... and my steel cap boots ........Have a few spades here, I am hoping that this will piss off the spiders hanging around here

That's not a sentance though Anti-Gretel. That's just a single word. And not even a very good word, I am fairly sure you will agree. It's just not enough. Reepbot likes sentences.
I also like ice-cream and pizza!

Oh for sure. But that takes us ever so slightly off track from the sentance generating topic at hand. But of course. Ice cream. Pizza. Please discuss. (In sentances)I also like ice-cream and pizza!

Ice cream is ever so tasty. I eat it really quickly. Only because i have a feat of it falling on my shirt.
Pizza is great because of the wide range of toppings plus the wonderful taste. My favourite pizza chain is pizza capers.

Reepbot, if I unintentionally caused you, or others, offence with the comment Zoopa Doopa Poota some time ago, or any other in relation to aspergers, I'm sorry. It is of course difficult judge sometimes with level of commentary that flies around here. It wasn't intended to wound. Everyone makes mistakes.

Bob walked out the door and into a large tea bowl where goannas and cupboards were playing chess. The chess pieces were having trouble moving from one square to the other due to some allergies.

I can't even remember you making those comments to be perfectly honest. I have never been offended by what you have posted. The only time i have been really insulted about a post related to aspergers was something Inigo posted.
