Hazard tree:icon4:

 

This pic was taken the next day. I'm a vol firery and this was a freeby. The tree was felled in the dark under lights and streams of water the evening before whilst it was burning up the centre like a chimney. It was fairly well going and breaking apart, took over an hour to get it down, I was soaked.

That burning tree reminds me of a tree we took down when I was in my early teens. My dad had an old (then) Pioneer, and the sparks ignited the tree. As you say, the hollow acts like a chimney and draws the flame, making for an interesting job. Nice to see some slightly different picture topics there, cheers.

Thanks Andy, this one was ignited by the home owner whilst cleaning up and burning. You could hear it drawing over the diesel pump on the appliance and it was throwing embers 30 ft into the night sky, quite a sight. The fear was it would spot over and start multiple fires during the night, thus it had to come down into a wet gully.

 

Cheers,

 

 

Tony
