Yes, A great fun day at a live burn. How did I do,,well I always learn new tricks at every burn. I'm On Standy by tonight. Covering for 5 towns. A huge factory fire is happening right now a few towns away. Tons of people got to go. I feel like I was forgotten about. :( I'm sure there will be many more fires though.
Stay Safe!
