I grew up in Zambia, in a country with shrub land and forests of small, spindly trees. During the hot dry season, bush fires were frequent and would self-ignite. They were life threatening, especially to animals in the path of the fire. Walking toward this piece of work, you can feel the heat and the danger. You will find that there is no water nearby to quench the fire. Best keep your distance.
