A static test of Masten Space Systems' XA-0.1B-750 rocket vehicle before flight 12. Some bits of molten concrete lit bushes on fire; in dry 104F heat, they were tinder.
The fire was contained and posed no risk to the rocket, test site, forklift, or other bushes. Mojave Air & Space Port fire department came out and gave it a good dousing, which the living plant surely appreciated.
