Peter, it is more targeted but more energy sapping than fuel reductionburns. We rake around the trees for two metres and spread the debris furtherafield. On steep slopes we rake further than the two metres down slope andaround some trees dear to out hearts we do a bit more too. Trees with evensmall fires scars a vulnerable to even slow moving cool burns as theynaturally build up their own debris around their bases which can set thefire intruding further. As the trees we worry about have been through manyfires and have the scars to prove it a single hot fire could bring themdown.
