With burn permit in my hand, water tanks strapped to our backs, fire in-hand, perfect wind conditions, 6 of us set out to burn the blueberry fields.
It was perfect. The fire went where we wanted it to go and we consider it a success due to the fact that we did NOT burn down our house or our neighbor's houses, nor did we catch the forest on fire. (Thanks to the snow still in the surrounding trees and puddles of water dotting the landscape.)
We have more work to do in the fields, but this gives us a good start and now I know that burning can be done with the help of a few good friends and your family. Thanks to everyone who helped. The pictures speak a thousand words!
