Stuff like that, I'll run up the 15 flights of stairs instead. I know how unpredictable the wildfires can be. 10,000 feet of hose? Damn! I'll never complain again about the 1000 feet of 5 inch supply line we have to pick up at times. Stay safe out there!

Hey there! Sorry it bombs your computer, not sure whats going on there? Life is crazy in my world! I am located on the Ca OR border. 30 min from OR. I work on the Klamath. Currently working on the Salmon, Scott ranger district. It is 2 districts in one. It is very steep,but overcome by its beauty. I am a ff, EMT, and working towards a prevention officer. I love what I do and would not trade it for the world. I hope you get the chance to fight a fire here! Most of our fires are in the happy camp area, but we get a few on our district as well. They are mostly fought from air, or jumpers because of the terrain. Whats it like where your at? What forest? Do you like what you do? Are you on a crew? Engine? Got to run. Talk at ya later.................. Delete Comment
