Default Fires of spring

we get knuckleheads like that around here too.
they'll pick the windiest days to burn ditches
or leaves or trash...

i'll even believe a fire started by lightning
here or there too, but some are started by cigarettes
tossed out windows of cars in passing and that's
someone being just plain brainless during a drought.


Let's have a big round of applause for the (all volunteer) Rural
Fire Service who have to deal with such nonsense on the ground.


do they let some of the fires burn freely if
they don't threaten houses or are all fires
suppressed?


As well as bushfires there are some local wildlife and garden shots here
too.

green pastures.
