In a brief statement a lot of people would like all orchard wood or discarded wood to be chipped and reused. There are many reasons to do so and a few that differ – without getting into the “right to farm” argument.
Smoke wherever can be harmful to many people and it does not look good generally on a awesome blue sky warm day in spring.
We have few answers:
Dry wood – hot burn
Fans to excite the fire – stay away from structures
Chipping
Some that ad much crap to an orchard fire – chemicals, waste, paint, etc. (Just ask the FD)
We don’t need more police we need people who THINK

Don sent more pix showing that the burn drifts into the bowls like White Lake and his home further South.
