#1 I remember the site management contract allowed the local administrator to determine when prevalent conditions would allow a burn. He would get a payoff from a local crew to hold off until they had picked through the debris. Salvaging apparently continued until the wind was blowing into the camp.

#2 "...a 55-gallon drum full of poop mixed with diesel fuel burning ever so merrily in the fresh morning air."

#3 We had a few of the shit-burners at the remote Re-trans sites. If I never smell that again, it will be too soon.
