field fire burns trailer 6-20-08

FIRE OFFICIALS SAY THIS TIME OF YEAR THEY'VE BEEN RESPONDING TO A LOT OF FIELD FIRES THAT GET OUT CONTROL, AND THAT'S JUST WHAT HAPPENED FRIDAY AFTERNOON IN DUNCAN. CHANNEL 6 CAMERAS CAUGHT A FIRST HAND LOOK AT BOLIVAR COUNTY FIREFIGHTERS IN ACTION. firemen say, APPARENTLY THIS FARMER NEXT DOOR WAS BURNING OFF HIS WHEATFIELD AND IT GOT OUT OF CONTROL INTO A WHEATFIELD THAT WASN'T HIS. WHEN THE FIRE JUMPED TO THE ADJACENT FIELD, IT SET A TRAILER HOME ON FIRE. THE OWNER THANKFULLY WAS NOT RESIDING THERE AT THE TIME, SHE WAS JUST GETTING READY TO MOVE. the owner said, "I JUST GOT BACK FROM ATLANTA, THEY BURN THE FIELD BUT IT WASN'T THE FIELD RIGHT THERE, I WAS IN THE HOUSE, MAYBE 45 MINUTES AGO AND SOMETHING TOLD ME TO LOOK AT THE BACK DOOR AND I WAS LOOKING AND I SAID, LORD, MY HOUSE IS ON FIRE." AFTER FIREMEN EXTINGUISHED THE TRAILER, THEY TOOK A TANKER OUT INTO THE FIELD TO PUT OUT THE REMAINING FLAMES. WHEN FARMER DON'T DISC THEIR FIELDS THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS. which is the case here this field wasn’t disked.
