Never had the pleasure of an H3, but was around the 1st 92 production model(s) which spent a few hours on the pad each day in the beginning with the APU going. After a week or so each pad it was parked on, the grass next to the pad had a signature 92 burned spot. We wondered if it would ever cause a fire until one day there was a fire. Unfortunately, it wasn't the grass.
