Enroute to Show Low AZ to a fire.

Ya'll be safe out there.
 
Still here. Think fire is going to go big. Blew over a few fire lines today.

Hot days right now.

Plume dominated fire.

We have been watching the fires on the news, be safe my friend you are in our thoughts.
 
Been a tough fire . Cedar fire. Just leaving it today. It is pretty much out. Now for a few days off and on to next fire.

We are second right now in the country for the most overtime hours so far. 500 and that is not including regular hours.
 
How's it going, Krzy? Thanks for all the pics.

My next stop in the Army was supposed to be to Fort Huachuca, so we were making plans to move to that area. I decided to leave, though, prior. This was back in 98/99.
 
Keep an eye on your 6 buddy, you're in our thoughts, be safe. Club meetings would not be the same without a fleeting glance of you on your way out :)

When do you plan on heading back to NC?
 
It has been tough season so far. 600 plus hours of OT. Should finish the season with as many hours as a normal person puts in in a year. Over 2,000 hours in 6 months.

I am going wheeling for a month after this season is done out here before I head home.

I am looking around out here........

Too many Cruiser shops back at home and none out here..........
 
Wow....I need to check in with my cousin's husband, Dan Cottrell, who is a smoke jumper out of Missoula, MT. I think he's been doing it for 15+ years. Enjoy your month off and relax.....good luck on the scouting....I would imagine biggest challenge out there is probably lack of density of people to set up a shop! Marshall/Trollhole has currently stopped taking new work until he gets his backlog worked down!
 
Hadn't seen an update on this in a while and stumbled on this facebook video......

Uncanny... :)



damn - so it won't embed it...> Follow the link, I think Darin's been moonlighting.

Could not get my phone to pull up the link.


Been in Montana fighting a fire for the last 14 days straight. Now taking 2 days R and R on Missoula MT. Seen 8 Cruisers in 3 hours. Wonder if there is a Cruiser shop here ?????

Dan Cottrell is married to my cousin and is one of the lead smoke jumpers based there in Missoula!
 
Sitting here at Baba's Burgers enjoying an Elk burger. Seen 10 Cruisers so far today.

Place is nice.
