Re: The Range Is Hot !
About 12 years ago I was at a "local" sporting clays range when multiple fire companies showed up and chased us off the range. Seems someone was shooting a 50 cal and decided to shoot tracers into a pile of old tires. Seems red phosphorous and synthetic rubber dont play well together!

Re: The Range Is Hot !
We had that experience. Tracers in dry brush. The culprits took off. Attempt was made to put it out. Eventually 40 trucks and two helicopters showed up. It was contained to a few acres in a large bowl. I think the fire outfits bilked about $11,500. We yelled fire.

Re: The Range Is Hot !
not quite as big a deal.but a certain levergunner y'all know also likes to shoot black powder cartridge shotguns. So one friday he drags his handsome, smiling self down to the club for the weekly trap practice round. Now most of these guys use high end shotguns that cost more than my truck. I unload a nice old Richards double of mine and blah blah blah first round starts, it's my turn and I let fly with a load of holy black, birds shattered and people start making noise. I honestly think they are impressed with the fat guy with the old time gun shattering the birds. I am smiling and nodding, thinking I am hot stuff. I pull my muffs off, they ain't all excited for me...they are yelling fire. Seems my fiber wads had set the lawn on fire and ...they were piiiiiissed. Seems as if It ain't proper to set people's grass on fire during trap practice. SEVERAL people came over to make sure.I got that.point. POOPs. Well I had fun and the increase in their heart rate was probably good for the old bastads.

Re: The Range Is Hot !
Someone with tracers (probably 5.56 in an AR) set fire to the shredded-tire backstop at the brand-new indoor range in Beech Grove, IN four years or so ago, totally DESTROYING the place. It was the only decent class-III range and shop in the area I know of. The did re-open recently as far as the shop, but not the range.

Re: The Range Is Hot !
Going to get up to 114 here today. It's 3:am now and still 91 out. So yes, the range is going to be HOT today!!
Re: The Range Is Hot !
We shot tracers in the Army. Yes, we sometimes had to put out fires. The tear gas grenades and the smoke grenades we had shot out flames as well as smoke. They always started fires.
Anyone who shoots tracers on a civilian range should be slapped upside the head.

Re: The Range Is Hot !
Last time they had a machine gun shoot at the range I belong to they participants where told no tracers . Of course one or more of them claims to not have got the memo, but it was right there on the form they had to sign. Anyhow started the brush on top of berm on fire and local VFD came out to put it out. No more full auto shoots allowed. Which is fine by me.
