Hi I am James Burgess. I do a lot of control burns on my property. I always get a burn permit and always have lots of tools on hands to suppress the fire such as fireline dug deep enough so fire don't ignite root system, always have access rate chainsaw fire extinguisher and I always pay attention to the humidity dew point cloud cover direction of the wind blowing. I make all these measurements before light and they control burn. Very experienced
As owner and operator of my 400 acre farm. I have lots of experience with operating heavy equipment such as I own four tractors also own a 99J D6C caterpillar dozer that I do all my own clearing and logging with. I have lots of experience in building fire lines burning brush piles also maintenance all my equipment myself such as dozier's tractors chainsaws irrigation pumps barn maintenance electrical maintenance fencing welding and plumbing. For the past three and a half years I have work for myself mostly logging White oak for whiskey barrels that I sell at two different locations southern stave in Sparta Tennessee other is Mullins stave LLC in Kingston Tennessee. I am very experienced logger I can identify any tree in the forest I can notch a tree and make it fall anyway I want it to fall. Being a landowner I also have lots of experience in reading maps such as building ponds on my own place so I have I have to know longitude and altitude so I get my dam at the rot level. I burn wood from my primary heat so I have a lot of experience in running a chainsaw no matter if it's a stihi or Husqvarna also can work and repair them. I also help other farmers around the area as in justin wyatt 931 267 5981 I've helped him in trucking clearing burning and operating heavy equipment and Jonathan Presley 931 200 1304 I have helped him in clearing his land. I think I would be perfect for this position of reasons listed. Reading maps, operating heavy equipment, burning and building fire lines, operate chainsaws, leadership skills, good morals,on time, good listener and most important safety first.
