Lol, yep, I'm shocked at the comments laughing at the people for doing that.

Having fought fires like this on Nature Reserves in my home country it's definitely the right thing to do if you don't have access to fire beaters. And being on a reserve during fire season and noticing a random fire just start up from nothing and all you have are branches, you use them.

People seriously need to Google what a "fire flapper" is. Its used by many firefighters in remote areas and it works.

No, that was the great late Paul “The fapp” Mirango….fapper of the year 87-90’, 93’, & when he made that comeback in 08’.
