The whole experience scared the shit out of me. Reinforced a few months ago when a neighbour's shed went up in flames at midnight. We had our bedroom window open, and were woken by smoke. It turned into a major fire <em>very</em> close to our houses. Another fire close-shave that shook me up horribly. Fire: Don't fuck with it. Daren’t, Tanya.

I'm glad you weren't harmed and it got put out before too much damage was done!! Fires were banned on our allotment last year so that isn't going to happen in the near future for me but I think bins are a good idea for burning..though the point of using a bin Soilman...is so that you can turn your back on it....being a little irish over it I think!!! ok…so I know this could have been very serious..but..lol…I have wonderful visuals of you running around shaking your leg trying to put the fire out.

Until, of course, we meet the one that refuses to miss. Funny, yesterday I was thinking that much of life is a series of near-misses. Until, of course, we meet the one that refuses to miss.

Wouldn't mind except it is full of brassicca roots, horseradish, sow's thistle and mare's tail. (psss Some council's have declared fires verboten. A nod in the direction of Copenhagen) Not belittling the respect you have engendered for the red tongued devil in any way, SM - Glad you can talk about it after 6 months!

A lesson I will not soon forget. It does indeed humble a person and make them overly cautious going forward. Most of the burning we do is in the form of early spring brush piles created from storm cleanup. I now only burn them in the very early spring and on slightly rainy days with a hose and shovel by my side. I had this happen once as well, a fire out of control that I was barely able to put out.
