So far i have been lucky and the worst i have had to deal with as far as combine accidents go is we had to first respond to a guy that sustained a head injury when he fell off of his combine. It was already parked so there wasnt really any risk of him getting run over by it.

At 10:16am on September 23, 2009, Jessica Swift said…: yeah we tend to get alot of combine fires and field fires.

He paid for getting two other guys wildland certified, but they have no other training at all. He said, he'd call you today. Call him back if you want. If he's not in a meeting he'll talk to you.
And if you don't hear from me till this evening its cause I'm at work. So I'll catch with you this evening.

At 10:07pm on September 17, 2009, Sharon R Smith said…: He's been really busy this weekend. His schedule is every other week, 3 days on - three days off. And during his off days he has had meetings with the Judges and EMS staff/firefigfhters for this prescribed burn contract. He meets with the State of Representative the first week of October. He's a go-getter. I'll put a bug in his ear for ya.

At 9:59pm on September 17, 2009, Sharon R Smith said…: Hey Loyd, I'm glad you got to talk with him. He knows his stuff. He has a twin brother, so I figure you will meet them both. Let me know if they can do anything for you. When we come down to Killeen, I would like to meet you. Always nice to actually meet up with a person - makes it more personal. Don't you think?

At 11:47am on September 17, 2009, Sharon R Smith said…: Well OK then. You never know, there really gearing up at this present time. Here's his number: 254-291-1152 William Greg Smith. He's also a member so you could contact me on the members list. Why don't you talk with him, it never hurts. Look at his profile.

At 11:22am on September 17, 2009, Sharon R Smith said…: Yes, he is. He's working on a contract with several counties to do Prescribed Burns. They told him they would have him busy 365 days a year. He's the only firefighter at the moment who is Engine Boss qualified. Don't suspose you are?

At 10:42pm on September 16, 2009, Sharon R Smith said…: All the forests are in Northern AZ.
I noticed that you're from TEXAS. My family lives in Texas as well as I did for 25 years. In Dallas, but now my husband and I own 12+ acres in the Kempner, Fort Hood area. One of the twins is a Federal Firefighter for Fort Hood, and he and the other twin started their own Fire Suppression Company in that area. Its called Central Texas Brush Specialists and Fire Suppression.

At 9:26pm on September 16, 2009, Sharon R Smith said…: Yeah, More than you realize. What most people don't realize is that the majority of Arizona is fine forest NOT DESERT. That's where most of the fires are at. And during our Monsoon Season which is July - August and January- February we have over 3000 lightning strikes a night and the majority of the fires are started by lightning, although there is the exception.

At 8:56pm on September 16, 2009, Cristina M Blanco said…: True, true! And you?

At 4:41pm on September 16, 2009, Cindy Jodrey said…: thanks for the welcome :D

At 3:08pm on September 16, 2009, Sharon R Smith said…: Very pleasant here in Phoenix, AZ at this time. Which is highly unusual. It's normally around 110 - 113. Wildland fires have been very slow here as well. I think that the people here in AZ finally have got the message. At least lets hope thats it.
