Starting the fire...

Starting a fire seems simple, right. Strike a match and light something. But in controlled burns you have to "plan" where the fire is going to go and light in the correct place so the fire will move the right way. I watched it happen!!

That's a point I hadn't thought about - we're now in the season of controlled burns around here. Thanks for the information

I've always wondered how that was done. We usually have at least one controlled burn in the area every year.
