My dad always said that spring time was the driest and most dangerous 
time of year for fires and I'd agree. All that old dead grass will burn 
like crazy if there is a wind behind it. A little slower if its quiet.

I remember helping fight a yard fire at a neighbours place a few years 
back. Lucky it was not windy and three of us were able to keep it from 
burning anything besides the dead grass and an old outhouse.

Its one of the several reasons I don't miss growing flax. Having to burn 
that straw in the spring was stressful. We have the "controlled burn" 
line to call here. Phone them when we plan to burn and

that way if somebody calls 911 about our fire, it will already be 
registered as a controlled burn for that day and the fire trucks won't 
be sent out (at my expense). But I won't be burning anything here.
