Once upon a time I was going in the house on a late fall afternoon, when a neighbor "flew" into my drive in his p/u and yelled to see if I had a disc harrow hooked to a tractor. I nodded yes and he said "Larry Purvis' house is on fire and my hayfield is right behind it with many rolls of hay sitting in it. Please come quick and harrow a firebreak around the house."
I rolled the IH 1466 over there asap and begin making laps around the sides and back of the house, between it and the hayfield, trying to grind up the thick sod. The house was in full blaze and I noticed a 300 gal. LP tank in the yard. I was passing very close to it and the paint on the outside began smoking from the heat. One pass, as I got right beside it, the pressure relief valve let go............... my wash lady knew something serious had occurred.
