Oops

Note to self... take even more care when using the weedburner.
I only use it when the surrounding vegetation is wet, and I make sure there's a hose handy just in case, and when I'm done, I go back and check that all's well.
Unfortunately, I forgot that tree is so sheltered it probably hasn't been wet for years. There was one - one!- small spark on a cobweb, which I knocked down, and that's it. Ten minutes later, the tree's on fire!

I'd have liked a photo of the flames as well, but on the whole, I thought it more important to put them out. The tree is rather large.
