The unlit goosenecks were taken to the runway on a trailer.......on arrival at the runway the operative would light the first gooseneck with a match and then light the next gooseneck [still on the trailer]. You guessed it.......on a windy night, the lighted gooseneck blew over and ignited more goosenecks! In no time a conflagration at the runway edge!!! [A hovering Harrier would have been useful].
