Yes! Like the comments say………a leaf blower will put the brakes on a bunch of fire. I’ve whipped out a bunch of fire just like in the video but if I’ve got the option I’m grabbing a leaf blower.
Over at the udder place, Mr. G says you shouldn't beat the fire out, but drag the wet burlap through the fire. He recommended putting it on the end of a pole and using it like a mop.
That certainly sounds like a less strenuous way to do it.
