Not my most favourite thing, to come home and find a controlled burn-off going on only a few hundred metres away. Luckily the wind is blowing towards the fire. I think the helicopter heard in the second video just happened by.

It's a lot of smoke.

Also, I'm keeping a very wary eye on it.

@Miraz is this to prevent wildfires from spreading?

@V_ No, nothing like that. A few months ago the landholder felled a forest. This is his way of dealing with all the stuff left behind — branches, unwanted logs etc. It’s so close to us it’s quite a concern. 😒
