Re: Burning question

No, it didn't "work", if you mean drying out the field.

It did, apparently "work" to the extent that a contractor had to come in, scrape off the gasoline-saturated soil, haul it to a hazardous waste site (where it was hopefully processed to remove the gasoline, rather than just dumped in a lined pit) and then haul in replacement soil, grade and seed the field.

Expensive for the town, and the employee who made the "poor decision" is still employed?
