Friday night's lightning show sparked 281 fires in N. California. Nothing huge yet, but thing's are gonna get crazy this year out west.
that should be some good times for the fire crews!! good money makin I bet its dry out there
are you on a hotshot crew, type 1, type2?
I know the fires I have been on in the states the drought codes were off the scale. no water in the ground
right on thats serious stuff..
I have called in the pros on a few occasions, where I was underequiped and just didnt have the experience to drop the big crazy burnt ones. the trees we have where I worked were smaller than the branches on some of the trees I saw and cut in the west!!
I have some real respect for what you guys do.
We are already in Fire season up here. Had two start Thursday. Then lastnight a lightning bust came through and torched off another 13(?) more. Things are going to get crazy this summer.
You up by Roseburg? We may get the ODF contract as well, they only give out one and if we got it, it's gonna stir a giant hornets nest with another contractor outta Rogue Valley.
Yeah I was out there in Greenville about a week and a half ago for the UMC pastor convention and the smoke was pretty nasty from that fire.
Wildland Fire Fighting, Contract Falling, eating smoke, fire, ash and woodchips. It is a wonderful job. Every state has WFF's. Hell if you want to make the big $$$$ fighting fire. Go to California. Like the title to this thread says. Its gonna burn to the ground. -coughs other obscene comments under his breath- Yeah.
