ice chips. if you find yourself anyplace where you can't keep an icechip from melting in your hand, you're too close to the fire. get out and let us know you're ok.

Bullit - keep us informed - we want to know you are ok and whats going on. Be careful out there.

The Philly paper today, said they don't expect to have the Northern CA fires, completely under control for months. :eek:

Thanks guys. We just got a little more info tonight.. this thing is getting pretty big. Over 80 engines, 90 or so hand crews, 7 choppers, 7 planes, and over 1000 other personnel. We get to play with our big type IV engine for this one though.. eye level is about where the door handle is... 1000 gallon tank on this big ol girl:
http://firetrax.us/images/FLIV.jpg Tomorrow evening we check in with IC, Incident Command, and get our orders, etc. So after tonight, I don't know exactly when I'll be back on here.. soon I hope, and def. with pictures. We might be doing some urban interface protecting houses and other structures.. we'll see though. |
Be careful man, after all it's only CA. ;)

I wonder if we have sent any of our smoke jumpers or fire fighters to help? My wifes hair dresser is a Smoke Jumper.

I know NZ have sent a couple of crews and some much needed equipment including a water chopper.
I would imagine that US crews would be coming if they're not already here. There's usually a bit of quid pro quo. I know we usually send crews when you lot have fires. ETA: Quote:
