It's in a dirt field, no hazards and no threat to the surrounding vegetation. The road I took is inaccessible for any fire apparatus. I recommend we let these burn out.

The two burn piles are approximately five by five, unattended in a dirt field with no hazards, no threats to vegetation and unable to access for fire apparatus. Affirmative, if Battalion 68 concurs cancel the balance, maybe follow up during daylight to see if there's better road access.
