Burning trash ejected by such an
explosion may cause another fire.
If walking through the woods this
time of year, use extreme caution
with smoking materials and

earth for used matches and butts.
Then use the heel of your foot to
grind it into the ground.

causes a fire, there can be liability
for costs of firefighting and
damage to others.
