Igniting a prescribed fire from a horse

I have seen horses used on wildfires as a means of transportation for Division Supervisors and for hauling supplies, but never have I seen a firefighter igniting a fire while riding a horse.

An article in the Daytona Beach News-Journal had the above photo with this caption:
