Firing the bricks
02 February 2008 | Colima, Mx
The fire boxes are loaded with what ever is available. Wood chips and coconut husk seemed to be the flavor of the day. 36 hours later they let the fires go out and the bricks cool. After the outer layer of mud and brick is striped off they are again stacked and available for sale. By the way, one person can make 600 bricks on a good day and will earn about 120 pesos or $ 11.00 US.
