nice shot.fire makes people do stupid things. i grew up on a farm that was bordered by railway tracks. in late summer, when the grass was dry, sparks from the train wheels would set the fallow areas on fire at times. standard procedure was to phone the fire department and then go try and put out the fires. some people just didn't get it and would run around in terror over a fire less than a few metres deep and maybe 20 metres long, in an area bordered by wet fields and a creek.
also, my sister one put buttered bread in a toatser and when it caught fire she threw the whole thing outside.

I'd panic at a fire that big.And the fire brigade would rather have to deal with a false call than someone burning to death.

you'd panic at burning grass?the flames never get more than thigh-high and are usually much lower. the firehouse was many miles away - the farmers were the ones who always put the flames out.
we used to stamp them out and then jump in puddles to watch the rubber on the soles of our shoes hiss and steam.
