I was burning some rubbish as usual and managed to set fire to the dry grass.    I attacked the fire with my 8 tonne Backhoe Loader but tt soon became clear that I could not manage to put out the fire by myself and I called the fire brigade.

The fire brigade arrived in record time, about 10 minutes,  I am very impressed and grateful for the quick response.

The damage is minimal, but could have been very great if the fire had gotten out of hand.   50 thousand saplings and 200 hektares of grassland were at risk.
