Another fire I was working once was a pretty big grassfire...
Tall grass, dry fuel. decent wind. The fire was advancing pretty well. I was spraying down a edge trying to buys some time for a ground team to clear out...
So suddenly I see something small come out of the flames and racing towards my truck...
It was a rabbit. A very on fire rabbit. He started zig-zagging to and fro...
Everywhere he ran, this little rabbit was spreading flame. It reminded me of the tron cycle game. He left a very distinct pattern of a burning wall behind him...
After a moment of sympathy and reflection on his predicament. I decided to take action...
So I kicked up the engine pump, opened the valve, and hit him with about 75 psi through the 1 inch line...
Not so much a heavy volume, but a nice tight stream. It hit him dead center and rolled him back into the flames...
He didn't re-emerge from the mess. I did feel slightly bad about it, but what else was I gonna do. Not like I'm gonna first aid a rabbit with 3rd degree burns and take it to a vet...
Poor little guy... Later the winds changed and the fire advanced directly toward our truck....
