\r\nUpdate 2023-03-07<\/strong>:\r\nLongleaf candling after burn 2023-03-06<\/a>.\r\n

\r\nFastest burn ever!\r\n

\r\nWe lit the one and only match no earlier than 11AM,\r\nand the fire was completely burned by 2PM.\r\nSo three hours to burn 20 acres of planted longleaf pines.\r\n

Fastest burn ever: 20 acres in 3 hours 2023-01-11<\/a>\r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\nThanks to both the Lowndes County and Moody AFB Fire Departments\r\nfor coming out, although they both determined we had firebreaks and backfires,\r\nwater, rakes, and water.\r\n

\r\nI had called Lowndes County Fire Rescue before we started, leaving a message\r\nwith our burn permit.\r\nBut that had not percolated to the man in charge of fires in the north of Lowndes County.\r\n

\r\nThanks to new neighbor Landen Ryan for helping Gretchen and me.\r\n

\r\nSome of the subdivision neighbors wondered what was going on.\r\nThe phenomenon of prescribed burns in fire forests\r\nis something unfamiliar to most suburbanites,\r\nand is yet another reason counties should not rezone to permit\r\nsubdivisions in agriculture and forestry areas.\r\n\r\n\r\n
