: If the fire is really big what do you use to make the fire line?
Hello, thanks for the question. Fire lines can be constructed in a variety of ways. People can get out there with shovels, axes, and saws to construct lines. Bulldozers and other big equipment can be used to speed the process up. Sometimes explosives can be used, also. Fire lines can be effective in some cases, but in certain instances nature exerts itself with winds and our efforts can be jumped.
