Fires caused by yard machines
I'm sure you all knew this, but I did not. I'm about to begin cutting brush with a blade attached to a trimmer and I came across this:
"Lawn mowers, weed trimmers, tractors, chain saws, grinders and welders can ignite wildfires, and Cal Fire responds to more than 1,600 fires each year started by people using equipment improperly." The article clarified that "improperly" includes doing yard work at the wrong time, like during a drought. One cause is hitting a rock with a brush cutter blade, throwing a spark. This makes me nervous because it can be hard to see rocks in dense vegetation. I will pay more attention to this. |
If it makes you that nervous keep your garden hose nearby.

When you are old and minimally mobile, what do you want to remember?
Yard work? Everything else? You now have a great excuse to defer that chore for "safety reasons". Step away from the trimmer and enjoy your day! :D |
