so, after a three years vacation (ha,ha) i am officially back in the firefighting game. its a little different this time, since i am now part of a local structural department instead of a national resource crew.

another big difference.......i get to start at the bottom all over again. thats a good thing, considering how little of my wild land experience carries over....but it will take some getting used to.

regardless, glad to be back at it.

If you drive the nicest car in the neighborhood, work in a cash business, and don't pay taxes, you're either a preacher or a drug dealer...

So...

does that mean I can burn structures?  [evil]

Congrats. ;D

JOB. What's that? :P
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

You mean they don't want you lighting fires around the back of the house while they're in the kitchen putting out the fire there?   ;D

Congrats   [thumbsup]

i was told explicitly that "burnout" and "backfire" operations where forbidden...
