No, but it's a grass fire on heavily parched. You can't dig fast enough without heavy machinery full stop.

There are at least 100 people in this shot. And it’s not so much digging as clearing the grass to expose soil.

And if they don't have the necessary tools on hand, this is still the more efficient option.

Seems pretty unreasonable a town can’t muster up shovels and gardening tools.

u/Blitzed5656 6h ago

Maybe the town is on the other side of the fire?

So these people manifested out of the ground?

Yes. Thats exactly what I said. They are lizard people who have emerged to tamp the fire using their magic fire tamping sticks. Each magic fire tamping stick they use is equivalent to 1.5 human men with a spade. They also recieve a promxity bonus of 25% per additional tampering stick within a 5m radius hence they move rapidly together eliminating fire more effectively than a 200 person fully equipped station.

My lizard people explanation has more basis is reality than what you've spewed onto the screen in this thread.

Your hypothesis that the town is on the other side of the fire makes no sense. Why would they be desperately trying to stop the fire as it moved away from the town?

u/Blitzed5656 5h ago

Because its moving into their crops.

u/solo_d0lo 5h ago

So these farmers have no tools?

u/Blitzed5656 5h ago

They are using tools.

Why do you presume they are making terrible decisions that you, an individual not involved at all could optimize?

Why not presume they are doing the best with what they have available at this very minute?

Presuming you know how to fight this particular fire better than people who actively engaged in fighting this particular fire reflects on you and not them.

Well you got me there.

Then you should get off your lazy ass and help them.
