Years ago when I was going to WSU. I was just driving a truck. I’d sit there and wait for the combine to come fill me up. I was laying on the hood half dozing when I noticed my farmer with his tractor and plow. I looked the other direction and saw a field on fire. He was going to cut a Fire break as were several other farmers. It spread really quick but the farmers’ fast reaction got it under control.
