    Late season fires

    Redwood fires are a #####, bottomless duff, large woody debris....I have been to several back in the 1970s.

    A quote from 2dogs

    "I firmly believe in the philosophy that safety is the number one priority in the woods. Having said that I feel that safety starts with the proper mindset and is followed closely, very closely, by the proper skillset. I think there is a tendency to offset poor skills by buying more safety gear."

    Pumps in the creek, straight stream nozzles, let the mining begin! Fires are no fun this time of year. The cool nights make for miserable camping.
    Able to operate and heat my home with a WEPA and EPA certified woodstove and probably could do so with one hand tied behind my back.

    The storm that blew though here Tuesday dropped over 10" of rain in the mountains. As much as 18" in very localized areas. Our fire season is done for.

    BTW I just found out today from Cal Fire why I did not get called out this season. The dude who was the Hired Equipment Coordinator went out on stress early this summer. I guess he fell so far behind in his paperwork it cost him his job via stress. Of course he will get a great retirement package and lifetime medical out of it.
