Porno for Pyros

Now I,m not exactly sure why Perry Farrell decided to name his band "Porno for Pyros", but I think it had something to due with the primal lust aroused by a huge pile of waiting willing combustible material.
At a time when thousands of firefighters are battling the blazes fanned by the Santa Anna winds (remember the Alamo?) in Southern California, it seems almost ironic that I wake up in the morning, and get paid to go set large fires in the woods. This is surely the funnest part of my job.
We do it the old fashioned way. No truck mounted flame throwers, or bags of napalm for us. Armed only with a chainsaw, axe, propane torch, and a leaf blower, we set upon these huge piles of wet wood and try to get them to burn. On a sunny, windy day like today, the results are quite pleasing.
For those of you curious about the leaf blower, lets just say that the Santa Anna's ain't nothing compared to the gust that comes out of the business end of a Stihl professional series leaf blower...a tornado in your hands.
Sure, I come home smelling like I've been sitting next to a campfire for a week, with red eyes and soot streaked across my face, but lets face it...it just old fashioned fun.
Is it arson when someone pays you to burn something...not in this case. Think I might go burn some stuff in the backyard...just for fun!!!
