sorry to hear that [member=136323]Rupert the bear[/member] I hope that nothing was damaged. How much hay was destroyed?
Luckily it was the moldy stuff the mice had had a go at , " Naughty, elf and safety would have you wear protective clothing at least steel toed boots and gloves." in the time it would have taken to get dressed fire would have spread, small fires tend to become big ones.
"Has Rupert the bare got an all over tan now???" no just singed fur
Funny now, but at the time not being a fast mover it was a a bit of a worry with the wind direction blowing sparks towards the house and steading.
Luckily I had enough hose pipes to reach it , well now empty though and its still smouldering but on on the way out.
Lessons have been learnt. any duff forage will be unrolled in future to stop heat build up .
