When its this dry hot and windy you have you take extra care or put crap off till conditions permit. Hope they charge this individual. Mower blade versus rock equals spark to massive fire in a second.

      @@tailgatecarpenter26 embers can carry well over 20km.
      The most common method for a bush fire to cause a house to catch fire is embers landing on the roof, or being drawn into air-conditioners or other vents, ignition the dry materials within the building.
      Don’t forget, the inside of a structure is at a lower air pressure than the air moving around that structure. The materials which make up that structure are very dry and pre-heated wood, plastics and other materials which are generally very flammable. Not to mention that you North Americans generally use tar-shingles as your roofing, which are highly flammable.
      Here in Australia, we have had poorly constructed and maintained buildings ignited from embers carried from fires over 20km away. Frequently. While a similar, but well maintained structure immediately beside it has barely been scorched.

      When an event like this happens, water pressure in the local grid plummets, as everyone is trying to protect their property. The only way to ensure enough water is to plan ahead. Ensure that local building codes, in areas where a fire risk exists, insist that property owners install water tanks under or around private structures, have a pump and sprinkler system.
      In Australia this is commonplace in the urban fringe.

    Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven "I am the way, the truth, and the life no one comes to the father but by me." John 14:6 Ask God to reveal this to you he will!
    "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23 ADMIT THAT YOU'RE A SINNER. This is where that godly sorrow leads to genuine repentance for sinning against the righteous God and there is a change of heart, we change our mind and God changes our hearts and regenerates us from the inside out.
    "But God commended His love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us." Romans 5:8 BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART THAT JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR YOUR SINS, WAS BURIED, AND THAT GOD RAISED JESUS FROM THE DEAD. Believe in your heart that Jesus Christ died for your sins, was buried, and that God raised Jesus from the dead. This is trusting with all of your heart that Jesus Christ is who he said he was.
    "For whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved." Rom 10:13 CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD. This is trusting with all of your heart that Jesus Christ is who he said he was. Every single person who ever lived since Adam will bend their knee and confess with their mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord, the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings.
