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.
