collection lost in Grampian fire

[David Dunlop]

I recall a chap in the USA a number of years back suggesting that sprinkler systems be used fighting forest fires, not so much to put them out but basically control where and what they burned. I think they showed it being tried around a small group of cottages and it worked quite well.

I think the idea has also been tried somewhere to control the rate and direction of flow with lava. Iceland maybe.
