Fire!

Or Burning Paddocks.

Basically the stubble on a paddock doesn't decompose here. It's not wet enough. So to get rid of it, it gets burnt. Obviously this is only done in the right weather conditions. There's a fire ban over the summer and you have to take into account the wind direction and
such.


So, with the fire truck on standby, you go around the edge of the paddock, with the wind blowing inward, spreading a small amount of petrol which you then light.

It is a little bit more complicated than this but I was just sat in the fire truck, ready to rush in where needed. I only burnt stubble in rows myself which was much simpler.




After the whole paddock is burnt, the fire truck then goes around and puts out any remaining fire, old tree trunks and the like. Simple as.
