DSC_0768 Starting the fire along the boardwalk.
As you can see, the area immediately on either side had been cleared with a weedeater. In the past, the boardwalk had been damaged by fire because it was too difficult to get precise control. Clearing a strip on either side allows the boardwalk to be easily protected. We have Jim Willis to thank for most of this preparatory work.
