Byron's Paddock 2 (Nov 4, 2025)

 

 

Had a great turnout. Buddy, Russell, Jeff, Scott, Rose, Bruce, Norma, John, Mike , & Don.

Burn went extremely well. Wind was around 10mph from the south with 20+mph gusts(predicted). With that, and with the abundance of personnel, Russell suggested we black out a substantial area of the northern line before proceeding to the flanking lines. This process worked wonderfully. 

My firebreaks were close mowed grass, so a wet line was utilized. One crew used a 15 gallon atv sprayer, the other crew used a battery powered 4 gallon sprayer. The wet line method is VERY effective for close mowed firebreaks!

We had no slopovers or spot fires. And the 4 acres burned thoroughly resulting with significant bare ground for a December overseeding of forbs.
I’m very grateful for the PBA members!
