Geez... Poor guy. That's a really bad deal. I remember being a young rookie and I really thank everyone who bailed me out of my screw ups to get me here.

I heard on Fox news this evening that the Mad River Fire was 85% contained. But that another fire had got coing close to it that had got up to 5,000 acres real fast and was 0% contained. We had a heck of a thunderstorm here this afternoon that lasted for almost 3 hours . But weve had and continue to have plenty of rain so the fire danger is Low .
This one is burning on some of our family's ground...

So, I heard on the news tonight 7,940 Square miles of Alaska burned this fire season. Thats is bigger than the state of New Jersey and almost the size of Massachutsets. . Ww are into the August rains now so we probably wont get much more fires this year.
After reading facebook I guess I am related to Hallenbeck. The world lost a good guy.

Spent June/July in Koyukuk and Nulato. That was really something flying in there and seeing plumes every direction you looked

No iron. Saw n pump show. Miles of p line n burner lines outside of villages after we plumbed every building on every street plus the generators and tank farm. 25K feet plus of hose. Beautiful country.
Done with Day 12. Doing line cleanup in 104 degree heat, 16% RH. We filled our packs with water, made 4 trips on 70% for more. My dogs are howling. Sure hope the shower line clears out some soon.
Orange sky to the east in the morning, to the south all afternoon, and to the west in the evening. What all is burning here right now even? I think Inciweb only reports Type 3 and larger and there's a lot not on there. I was on one near Roy all afternoon/evening and forgot to look up much until after dark.

PL5 national today
Today we worked a fire I could best describe as a slash pile that went bad rather quickly with a 25 MPH wind, 85 degree high and 30% RH, which is a red flag day in my area due to lack of resources.
The problem was that they needed a tender driver, and it was my day off. There's an engine, a squad and an unstaffed tender... And there are at least two certified drivers on all staffed companies. That doesn't add up. Oh well. At least we washed trucks afterwards and cleaned out the bay.

Low run volume+public/fire board that doesn't want to pay us=forced professionalism.
I'm still working on digitizing your copy of my SOG, by the way.
I take it you guys aren't IAFF.
