We are fired up about burning for healthy forests!
Safety, prescribed fire, NOMEX
January 20th, 2010 Filed Under Blog
A frind of mine was burning the other day, By bimself!! That is not good. Too many things can go wrong. He was trying to get a pile going by gathering up stick and throwing on the fire. He had on old cotton clothes. May have even had on some polyester? Before he knew it his pants were on fire. Frayed cuffs I guess. He panicked and ran. Then he caught himself, stopped and beat out the fire with his hands. He has second degree burns on his hands and his legs. NO FUN!
NOMEX,a fabric designed not to burn is a cheap investment. My friend is a conservative sort of guy like most of us. He doesn’t want to spend money de doesn’t think he needs to spend. No one can fault him for that. But in this case a set of NOMEX coveralls would be a lot cheaper than the doctor bill for tending to the second degree burns, the cost of guaze banadages, and a whole lot less painful.
Think Safety! SAFETY, SAFETY, SAFETY !!! Minimize risk,
