I got a leaf rake on black friday, just want to help to prevent forest fires in PA

That's one reason why I moved from MA to Florida. No need for a rake OR a shovel down here

There is *always* a need for a shovel, especially if you live as close to the swamp as you do.

When I was still in high school....I was waiting on my bicycle at the bottom of my friends street. We were going to ride to the next town to shop. After a half hour I decided to see if something was wrong so I peddled a mile up to his house.

He and his mother were in the back yard putting out a leaf fire. They were burning garbage and the leaves caught fire....we were out there stomping on the leaves for over an hour....I finally had to leave to go to work....they were out there stomping about an hour before I showed up.

People don’t realized how dry the dead leaves and fallen twigs are and how easily they can burn. Especially with a breeze blowing.

You always need someplace to put the bodies if the Alligators are not around.
