Crown Fire behind my house!

This is a Crown Fire in the trees a mile from my home. The under brush was so thick we had to stand back and watch! Nothing you could do about it. It made it to my place and burned 30 acres of my place and a few trees but not my home. If these woods had burned a few times over the years there would still be trees there. Now it looks like moon scape instead. Mark H.

This is what it did after it went thru my place. It burned under all the trees you see in the picture but I keep the brush and under growth cleaned up so the trees did not burn. That picture I just posted the fire burned every thing to the ground and sterized the soil it got so hot. It still does not look right after 4 years nothing but some weeds grow there. If it had burned a few times befor it would not have destroyed the forest completly. After the fire my pastures turned green and looked better than befor. It is still clean under the trees also and I realy don't worry about losing those trees in a fire anymore. Mark H.
