A couple of times a year, we accumulate enough brush for a big burn pile. Over the winter, we lost several Austrian Pine trees so we had plenty of accelerant to get things going. Unfortunately, the thought to capture the moment on camera didn't come until way late in the burning process. The picture below shows the fire going out as we were wrapping things up for the day.
For those of you who have never seen a dry pine tree burn, let me tell you, it's a scary thing. Those things go up in a hurry and burn very hot! It will make you think twice about putting a "live" tree in your house at Christmas time. If you haven't already seen a "burning Christmas tree" video, here's one for you so you can see for yourself. Let's be careful out there, folks!
