If your bossing and the operator runs into something like that I don't think it could be your fault unless you were the one backing him up.

You are not wrong. Doesn't stop me from worrying, though.

Yes, there is a better way. You and an assistant, bright ass paintballs in 2 sweet guns, blaze cat dude a trail he can see from space.

Last time I suggested paintballs it was for pre-marking trees for harvest as I cruised. That got -- pardon the pun -- shot down. My only real issue would be carrying compressed gases near a fire.

Nate what you need is an IMR-3M. Give a call to the Russian consulate (give my name as a reference) and order one up.

On it like a sonnet in a bonnet!

I don't know A bunch of aerosol cans of brightly colored paint, getting hotter then recommended, could be highly entertaining.

"The Contractors State License Board, which has suspended Czirban’s license eight times in the last four years, launched a new investigation into the company this week after learning of Reagan’s apparent employment there.

The firm has told the board that it had no employees and therefore did not need to provide worker’s compensation, an agency spokesman said.

Cal Fire’s contract with Czirban includes an insurance policy with the State Compensation Insurance Fund that expired in January 2015."

That makes my blood boil. A guy ****ing died and they're not going to do anything. Sleazy bastard contractors...

Boys dad working on this fire,
He ran out every time they came in to dip, and ran along field as they departed.
Pilots noticed and paid him a special personnel visit [emoji106][emoji106]

A crew member took this pic of me this afternoon while I was figuring out the order of operations for dismantling this big-ish cedar that burned out and fell over. Once I had it picked apart, the front end loader moved all of the green fuel out to a staging area to be chipped, and all of the logs to another for firewood. Day 9 I think of this fire. Kinda tired of this bastid crossing lines and switching directions. WHY WON'T YOU STAY IN THE BOX



Here's a few of us taking a break or something.

I haven't been able to post images for awhile now but I bought a new computer last week. Let's give it a try.

 

[2dogs]

Yeah it worked!! More to follow!

Oh I guess I can caption that first pic. This tree was on the hazard list but it looked pretty scary. I called for a blaster and the faller module agreed. When I came back the next week this tree had been cut down and pushed aside.

Here is the horizontal of that tree.
