How far away is considered 'safe'? Favourite site for the traditional

Heating oil is pretty hard to ignite. I'm more worried about tinder dry

Not too much tinder dry material in NE Scotland :-)

But I could not say of 6ft would make me nervous or not...

It doesn't make me nervous as such - just aware.
