Well you should never go into a fire fight wearing a grass suit of armor OR a grass covered machine. Most of us have an FEL and for putting out a fire this would be the best tool next to a water truck. It will cool the fire, smother the air from it and pretty much remove the fuel all in one fast pass. And other than perhaps some paint, there isn't anything on the bottom of the bucket that will burn.That's what I was doing. I had mowed a barrier around the CRP but the fire started creeping across that barrier. I ran along the fire, throwing trash back into the burn area. Not sure how, but eventually I got embers up on top of the trash covered deck. Once it started burning there was no putting it out. I learned my lesson.
