It's a long time since I boiled up a batch of handkerchiefs to be dried on the fireguard and ironed neatly. |
To expand the fireguard, a 2 km wide stretch of forest was burned south into Kootenay National Park. |
Scissors and matches must not be left lying about, and a fireguard must be fixed in position so that it cannot be disturbed. |
Over the past few years I cut a fireguard 200 ft. wide around the place but that is little comfort in a strong wind. |
After draping her clothes over the fireguard, she tip-toed upstairs to her room in the loft and crawled into bed. |
In all, the fireguard stretches seven kilometres, and is approximately 400 meters wide. |
