Basics
- A modification of a Fuel Can that allows it to leave a predictable line of fire on the ground
- In order to save fuel, it can also be used to leave “drops” instead of a constant line, akin to the motion of lightly watering potted plants
- Used in controlled/ Prescribed Burns
- Much more effective (and safer) than other methods such as a fuel can and a lighter, or flamethrowers
Used For
- Controlled/Perscribed Burns
