Hurricane Debris Fire

Yeah, you'd think the government was running that operation. Oh wait, they are.

You'd think that they'd get somebody to run that, that had a little experience in the matter. But it seems the govt is not so much interested in what you know, but who you know. :smt102

Interesting snipit by the HA on Hattiesburg charging the Army Corp of Engineers $2100 per day for HFD watching the spontanious combustion fire site on Memorial Drive.

If the Corp will pay that per day, why not call in a "Red Adair" type specialist to put the dang thing out once and for good? So what if it cost the Corp five million bucks. Smoke ain't good for us and being adjacent to I-59, it will act just like fog if the conditions are right.
Wouldn't work, Hawkeye. Bringing in a well trained, experienced oil well fire fighting team would be far too logical for this operation. This is a learn-as-we-go process. :confused:

Those chips had lots of good potential if someone had used a tad of common sense. Had no one ever heard of green hay burning a barn down? This crap just get more humorous by the day.:smt086
I heard that the chip piles have too high a dirt content to be used in many of the normal applications ... that's why distribution has been slow.

That being said, my Gardening 101 book talks about creating a mulch pile, how it works, and discusses the heat generated during the process. Probably should have been anticipated ... but that would be big-picture thinking. Hmmmm.
