A few years back, someone was setting fires along the highway going by my house. Similar weather condition as now. the highway is a new road with just ground cover grasses for erosion. they also used a lot of my property for waste fill dirt, so I had quite a bit of grass on the banks to. The fire ran down the highway embankment and up the embankments toward my house. Local fire fighters with the Us Forest Service was fighting the fire and got it put out before it did any damage to my home. It still cost me several thousand dollars, which insurance paid most of, to revegetate the embankments and replace 3 100ft+ long plastic drain lines. The forest Service dozer cut a fire break down the slope to stop the fire from spreading, which I had too go back and fix later. Local fire department was spraying water. My worst damage came to my septic tank as one of the fire trucks decided to drive thru my yard, beside a perfectly good road, and fell into the tank. Young kids with over enthusiasm was the cause for that, but at least my house didnt burn.
