Some years ago my neighbour got so addicted to burning weeds, he set fire to our beech hedge. I was busy under a car pretending I knew what I was doing when I became aware of a smell of burning vegetation. Neighbour was trying to put out the fire on his side with a watering can and a bucket and losing ground, mainly because the weed burner was lying on its side, still alight. A section of my side was burning merrily. My hose pipe (and utter heroism) saved the day!
Tool addiction can be dangerous.
