[Evans, Marv]

Be careful with the size of the pile also. Years ago I had a very large pile of limbs and brush to burn. I thought to myself, "Wow, this pile is pretty big." I lit the thing off, and soon had to back away because of the radiant heat. I had a black, heavy duty garden hose with a spray nozzle on the ground maybe 25+ ft. away in case I needed it. My wife said, "Look at the hose.' I looked and it had water squirting out if it in three places from the radiant heat weakening the hose so the water pressure could burst through. Learned a lesson that day.
