Harvest Time Fire

No I haven’t disappeared from Wrongblog, I have been so busy with everything I haven’t had an extra moment to do any blogging here!
I just returned from a trip out of the country and made it home to the farm just in time for harvest. The barley was very tall and since it has been so hot and dry it made for a great harvest and good straw for winter…

Well this was also a good day for fires, when we got home today we noticed some smoke from the back field it had just been cut. I thought I will just jump on the front end loader and fill it with water and drive out there and put it out. Yeah right before I could even get to the tractor it was blazing, some flames as high as ten feet! I called 911 and ask for the fire company.
The response time was not the fastest but they did a good job putting the fire out.
I can see how this could happen it was ninety five degrees today super hot and dry.
Here is the video and a couple photos I took.
