Melted lights and wires. All will have to be replaced.

Fires got put out, firemen had a great time. These guys live for this! Nasty Neighbor man didn’t recognize DS. He looked over a row of large pine trees and asked DS what he thought they were worth. Then he found out who DS was and got mad. He ran his mouth at the firemen and Deputy that he was fixing to cut hay……(he mowed it several weeks earlier, and it is NOT hay season). Really? Then he said he was fixing to move his cows on it—he doesn’t even HAVE cows. Moron.
DS and I hooked up water hoses and he went on Nasty Neigjbor’s place putting out smoking hot spots, long after firemen were gone and Nasty Neighbor retreated to his house, probably to sulk about his not burned trees, cheating him out of a lawsuit for damages. We got all smoking spots doused with water and rolled up the hoses.
Then @Ridgetop told us what the other neighbor said about it wasn’t HIM that started the fire, and we collapsed with laughter. His wife’s brother is a fireman as well as 2 uncles, so they might have had suspicions. Hahaha! He is a really nice guy and I vastly prefer the arsonist to the a$$hole.

Sad hard lesson to learn to not leave a fire..... at least it wasn't any buildings, or current driving vehicles, or any animals or lives lost.

No kidding. There was no wind, he came in to eat a sandwich. Went out to a fast moving fire. Neighbor lady couldn’t get gate open for firemen, DS yelled at me to bring his truck and he took tools to take gate off hinges. Not a great afternoon, but it could have been worse.

The only other saving grace to this is that with some rain and warmer temps, it will green up prettier than ever. There are several places that actually do burns to get the old thatch and stuff cleaned off and give the ground a chance to start "fresh". Burning is popular in certain parts of Canada too....

My knees are screaming at me. I’m using @Ridgetop ’s remedy for the pain.
1. Measure out 1 tablespoon of wine, massage it into painful knee.
2. Measure out another tablespoon of wine and massage it into the other knee.
It really helps with the excruciating pain!
3. Drink the rest of the wine.

It will be interesting to see if the burn actually improves the pasture.

As long as it is a cool burn, so didn't kill roots or seeds, it is a huge improvement.
Burning is fantastic for pasture management.. as long as it doesn't get away from you.
