[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 3065613, member: 109862"] It always impresses and scares the 💩 out of me how FAST fire can move. Like to know that if you were out in the open prairie on foot and a grass fire came at you you couldn't outrun it, not even close. I recall seeing a documentary where a prairie wildfire started and in its wake there was the charred remains of a freaking PRONGHORN antelope. To be fair it was an old one, the rest of its herd did outrun the fire…but even an old pronghorn will beat the pants off of about 90 percent of the animals that walk this earth in a race so it was very sobering. Recall a number of old farmers who relayed tales of burning off stubble and the wind picking it up and taking it out of control, knew a guy who lost his beloved dog to a stubble fire that got out of hand (it had been chasing the rodents fleeing the fire and ended up totally surrounded by the blaze and burning) A few minutes is all it takes to completely lose control of a situation so badly a dog can't get out of it fast enough, let alone a man woman or God forbid a child.
