I had a few fun nights in the Auger Inn back when they allowed non military civilians access to the club on Friday nights. I was at PIT school in 86…and about 80 years later, my office was just about where the arrow’s pointing; HQ building had a few remodels over eight decades! That was my last post before retiring in 2015.

Yeah; it’s hard, hot, dangerous, and exciting. Defenitely a young person’s job though. Our Son made it home about zero dark 15 due to evacuating in convoy. The airport and tanker base at Chico is closed due to the fire, so all air support has been coming out of RDD.View attachment 8466315

Out my office window yesterday afternoon. That's the plume where the fire started. It was obviously pretty windy yesterday afternoon. I thought I'd posted this. Looks pretty clear now, wildland boys do good work.
Glad he made it home safely. I have a cousin married to a hotshot crew leader. I'm thankful we have those guys and gals, but damn that's a crazy job.Yeah; it’s hard, hot, dangerous, and exciting.

Yeah, I saw some awesome country during my time as a Wildland Firefighter. I’ll probably never get back to those location, and some I DON’T ever want to see again.Glad he made it home safely.

Ken's told me some stories. What you guys go through to even get in position to start fighting a fire is nuts. Don't think you'll ever meet a fat ass hotshot.Yeah, I saw some awesome country during my time as a Wildland Firefighter.
