Today I was walking my dog on fire .

Kills invasive undergrowth, helps the soil as well.

Also helps keep out of control wildfires from happening.

The knife is Outback from Down under knives, this is one of my two users the other one is SP-10. No the dog doesn't wear Body armor it is just harness .
On second thought maybe he cut him self last week on ice...

Removes and prevents surplus fuel from building up.
Removes dense undergrowth that choke wildflowers and other small species, leading to better plant diversity.
Returns nutrients to the soil.
Fights invasive species.
Tick control, and related disease prevention.

I knew there where some good reasons.

Only one thing you can really do in a controlled burn. Bring out the steaks.

No matter how much a control fire can benefit the environment, you still have to be careful. I'm surprised no one was in the woods watching it.

And avoid starting control burns on windy days. Or else:

Pugs are always cool.

It might have been a controlled burn, they do that periodically, even in urban forest preserves.

Yep, usually the USFS and/or wildland firefighters (combination of both). When they do this they don't typically allow people to casually stroll through while walking their dog. Either way, cool.
