Hopefully you have managed the fuels on your place.
Great training video to show fire crews what happens if they call a drop on themselves or flight crews what happens if they hit a structure or vehicle.
I spent a summer fighting fires. Most structures could be saved if the owners managed the fuels on their property right. But most just complain. And we have to sit on structures rather than actually contain the fire.
I presume you are in the Piney woods. You should keep the needles raked back 100 or more feet from your structures and have all brush cut back 200 feet. And check your house and barn to address some key things. And be prepared to drop trees around your place away from your house.
Most places in Texas have horrible fuel management. The worst is Austin. The city of Austin came very close to a major loss of life in 2011 - about the same time as the Bastrop Pines fire - during the 2011 drought. The west side of the city is an unbroken juniper canopy now.
Worse yet, juniper encroachment from Wichita Falls all the way down to Navasota and to the coast is now an unbroken 100 mile wide highway of fuel. Texas will soon have a massive fire outbreak that will dwarf all others.
And most of the landowners will moan about it rather than keep the fuels under control.

Repost from the Porta John thread. For a group focused on observation and gathering information this should be easy. What do you see?
Thank you,

Cat should have run a bit quicker...
Oh and they need to paint topside... All that rust. Horrible!

That was funny.
But wow, I never knew Jabba the Hut had legs. Might be from his younger days ?
Great comments from my previous pictures so .....
Four more from my collecting. Some used in safety meetings, some not:
1. Crane oops, tubing lift.
Situation:
Result:
Operator received minor scratches on one leg
2. Always know your load height:
Semi load of caps:
Another crane oops, removing deck forms:
It's an interesting world, but let's always be careful out there.
Thank you,

I come from fire country, we manage the fuels on our place in Texas. Were ready as we can be. The cedars / junipers are thick all around us, but not on our place. The fuel reduction grants are out there this year if your in Texas take advantage of it.
Well bet they didn’t expect the kid to go all ninja like that!

Dude wasn't defending his business, he was defending his life.

He refused to wear anything else yesterday. His dad and mom are both on the fire dept and he thinks he is too
