I burned a stump in my backyard and there was a root that burned underground for almost 2 weeks. There was a smoking cavity on the edge of where the stump was that just kept getting bigger and eventually caved in, leaving behind a 20 foot long trench 😂. This looks like a residential area, I'd be worried about utility lines if I were this guy.

​@@roxannee8316"What are you saying?" _That_ was what your comment made me think.

[@dommyboysmith]

Ohhh yeah they can, and "drenching the soil" like other comments have suggested does nothing. For an entire summer there was this one really dry spot on my jobs property and the neighboring company's employees would just flick their cigarettes when done. That spot have caught fire 20 times. We'd SOAK the area for like 30 minutes only to have underground fires pop up in several locations 20 feet away. It was quite frustrating. Places in the UK are at risk like this as well because of peat. Unless it's been raining for a week you can't have a fire on the ground or you'll burn the whole forest down from underground.

For those wondering how roots can burn underground without oxygen, there is oxygen. The limiting factor is oxygen, so it burns as fast as the ground can exchange gases. Earth is a good insulator, they burn slowly and there's very little heat loss. So the roots stay at smoldering temperatures for a long time. Above ground, when oxygen is low fires go out easily because the air is moving very rapidly and the heat dissipates almost instantly. Below ground nothing moves so the heat just stays around as more oxygen moves in

[@gusplaer]

I really doubt those perticular roots traveled to infinity.

[@amosbackstrom5366]

@@gusplaer Yeah on a single tree in a yard there is no risk of sustained fire that lasts weeks. It's particularly dangerous when you burn a field of brush or small trees.

Thoroughly enjoying these comments! Lots of concerns about safety… and rightfully so. I am not advocating this as the go-to method for stump removal for everybody. I recognize that there are some people that probably shouldn’t play with fire (you know who you are). However most things are safe to do IF you know what you are doing. Nobody actually called the fire department, the station is about a stones throw away from where we did the burn, the wind carried some of the smoke. They were extremely cool with us, just wanted to make sure nothing was burning that shouldn’t be. Since this took place over a year ago, I can confidently report that the stump was (and will be) the only thing that burned. If you decide to use this method, drenching the surrounding area with water before and after the burn is wise and can help prevent the rare instance of catching the roots on fire (and/or starting a coal mine fire..). Also this should go without saying, but don’t use gasoline or do this during a drought! Enjoy the burn!

Call the non emergency fire department or the non emergency dispatch before burning. Usually they will not have to worry this way or they may send someone out just to make sure its safe. Which will keep them from having to worry and bring the whole crew.❤

All you need to do is call dispatch, let them know you will be burning (tree stumps, branches, weeds, etc) . They make a note of that and they call it a 'burn permit'. You dont usually have to get it in writing, but sometimes, your local FD will ask you to go pick one up from them (no fees. it's free). This lets them know that if another caller calls about a "fire" on your property, they can let FD know that you called and are burning (whatever it is you are burning). They wont allow you to burn on windy days.
