Yeh it’s a wicked issue. I was at first unsure (about the destruction). But these operators know what they are doing. And the landscape isn’t natural anymore. Pre European times the valley floors (now cleared) would have been moist and slowed a fires progress. Now fires race across the pasture and into the next forest block. Anyway, ‘society’ insists we try stop them so we do, with as little impact as possible. 🤷🏻♂️
Hi Arthur, thanks or your interest. Yeah, its a bit subtle to work out from the film, but these are not fire lines as such. They are just meant to slow the fire overnight. There are several put in just before dark, after the wind has dropped, They poke about three or four hundred metres into the bush from a main fire trail so a fire creeping say from south to north along the main trail (as in this instance) gets trapped in them for a while, so staff in the morning can resume their prep work from the previous without having been overun. It creates 'side friction' along a trail for when the fire is coming more at an angle than straight on. Its one of many techniques we use when it suitable. - W
@@f0rdfalc0n46 yeh fire's a bit like a pandemic I reckon. You have to try keep it in the village before it gets to the town. When the conditions are against you its numbing seeing all that effort go to waste.
Hello. Richard York. Do you have even the FAINTEST clue what you are talking about???????????? A kew-ree-yuss mind would like to know - - - - but doesn't really care. Just my 0.02. You have a wonderful delusion. Best wishes. Deas Plant.
