I live out in the country bro. We burn a lot of stuff out here like trash, limbs and brush, flotsam and jetsam. Use diesel fuel to get them started. The past couple of months our area has been under a red flag fire warning because of drought conditions. It rained pretty heavily the day before the snap was made so a bunch of folks caught up on some burning. Although it appears to be a house fire or something it was nothing more than someone burning stuff. They must have had a lot of crap though because that is quite a cloud. It dissipated pretty rapidly though.
If you get caught burning during a red flag period you are fined stiffly. The county had a pyromaniac a few years ago who started a fire that destroyed several homes. Luckily no one died. The idiot was seen stopping his truck on a rural road and lighting a rolled newspaper on fire then he tossed it into a ditch overgrown with brush. They caught him and now he is serving a prison sentence of several years.
Back in the old days this sort of thing went on even in the city. Due to lack of trash service so many folks had incinerators on their property or in some cases even in their homes.
If you look at some of my nature photos the past couple of pages in this thread you can see how dried out everything is. Normally we have several snow storms but last winter it only snowed once and very lightly at that. It is the El Nino effect. When we are dry California gets atmospheric rivers. When Cali is dry the midwest USA is wet. Our summers here are quite humid. I think I could handle Singapore's climate because of our humid summers. Plus Ive been to the jungle before...it was no sweat for me (haha) but I'm pretty healthy and strong.
All of that said if my pasture catches on fire right now I'm in deep caca.
