Good evening, Steemians!
Today, the county finally sent out semis to my neighborhood to collect the tree scraps from Hurricane Irma from last month. They sent out semis with bulldozers and claw machine looking things.
I've been waiting a long time to burn a lot of the fallen tree branches from the hurricane, and one of my neighbors was doing it today on a HUGE scale, so I figured maybe my other neighbors wouldn't mind me burning while he was burning, as to "get it out of the way at the same time."
Building and making fires is pretty cool, and a good skill to know if you ever find yourself a castaway on an island.
All of those branches formed in a huge ugly pile were becoming an eyesore, so I did what I had to do (don't take my advice): I soaked some old shirts and socks in gasoline and then got a small fire started. Then I used a bamboo pole to feed the soaked clothing into the middle of the fire enough to get the wood hot. Not the safest way to make a fire (it rained yesterday so other options weren't really on the table) but it got the job done.
Thanks for stopping by, Steemians!
I love burning shit! I imagine you have to be careful in such a dry climate not to have your fire spread out of control? Have fun but be safe

The police gave an announcement saying for people to not burn their debris from the hurricane, as the smoke is bad for others around that may have breathing problems and could possibly inhale the smoke. I hope you were in a secluded area where nobody was effected. My whole street and neighborhood had debris infront of thier homes just until a few days ago. The city came by with a crane and dump truck-like truck and picked up all the dried up debris on the side of the road earlier this week.
Yeah we are allowed to burn and I do live in a more rural area.
