Ah, yeah I was just wondering. Our department in the last 5 years has grown a very successfull wildland program. We went from never having sent a single person or piece of equipment out of the city to sending up to 10 FF and engines all over the nation.Quote:

The Derby fire last year (*see http://tetongravity.com/forums/showthread.php?t=61946) brought me about 200 hour of overtime in 2 weeks :D
Looks like it will be a cash cow again this summer...it looked like a wall of death coming over the top of Mill Point last night :eek: , and the north valley was damn thick with smoke..and we don't even have any local fires yet.
I thought I was gonna be a broke engine slug this year, but it's August and I've only driven the engine once and that was to go to district orientation to show off the shiny new engine to the rest of the circus.
I just got back from a month with the shot crew. Somehow I managed to take an Assistant Engine detail on the district and still fill in as a squadie for a month on the shot crew. We went to the Citadel Fire outside of Cody, WY for the beginning of the first roll. My knee got hammered from lots of downhill hiking in shitty rocky steep country, but it was a fun fire. We burned out for a few days, watched it blow out on us one day and caught it the next day. Last roll was pretty lame. We got holed up on an 80 acre fire on our own forest while the shit was hittin the fan everywhere else.
I just got home and was preparing myself for a little vacation on the district, but got a call from dispatch today asking if I wanted to be a crewboss trainee. So, I'm off to Kendrick, ID-dont know the name of the fire.
Hope you're all rolling in OaTs too!
Looks like MT & ID are quite the tinder box. 23 large fires, close to 1 million acres.
Watch yourself and your crews and be safe brothers and sisters!
yeti still going stong glad to see it
I need stache pics senor
you gonna be off by labor day?
Whoa doggy, the air in Missoula is now officially crap. Evacuations up in the Seeley area and ID is throwing over major plumes. Just got back from driving tender for a private company on the Poe Cabin. It was pretty interesting driving a 60000 pound semi on a one lane road in the woods. I got'er down and now roll no clutch stylie, straight RPM's baby.

pretty good fire outside of ogden right now.
backing down into ogden canyon. going to get some sleep and be back on it tomorrow.
total sneak attack. I PT'd way way too hard this morning to be on the line tonight.
I was wondering if you were there, for some reason it always happens when I'm on shift, so if you want a calender showing c-shift days so you know when to pt hard, let me know.Quote:

It's over, tomorrow is my last day on "intermittent" status. Then I'm done done for the season.
around 700ish hours OT this summer. How'd you guys do?
Glad you are back and safe Yeti. Hope to see you soon.
BTW, part of the Solisunday crew this year!
700 hours
10 jumps
2 weeks of playing with explosives in Glacier
And most importantly, rookie season over.
Bump because there must be some more OT-reports out there.
YM - nice total, 700 hours usually meant a fat winter for me.
VC - congrats on surviving rookie year. Now you'll be a dreaded snookie. Was that 10 fire jumps? If so, that's pretty good.
In my second-only non-fire season since 1974, I skied into June, did more fly fishing and mtn bike riding than ever, got an adobe wall repaired and the garage re-stuccoed, and had a great trip into the high Sierra during the height of fire season. I could get used to this.
Hope everyone had a safe, lucrative season and got lots of good stories.
Bump for SoCal. Multiple Santa Ana Wind fires happening in Malibu and LA, Ventura, and San Diego Countys.
Yup 10 fire jumps.Quote:

That ===== 270 hours of OT beotchhhhhhhes!
Yup. Left my SD house this morning. It looked like a war zone with ash everywhere and clouds of smoke blowing overhead. On a lighter note, those santa anas made for some good surf!Quote:

It's like living in a campfire. At least work's been close the past two days and maybe tomorrow as well as there are numerous evacuation ones near where I work and the major north county fire is still unchecked.
holy socal shitshow!
this is one of those deals (like katrina) where I'm torn between wanting to be there and wanting nothing to do with it.
Yup, me too. But since I know I wouldn't be going down there. I'll crack a beer and listen to the news people sound like uninformed and stupid assholes.Quote:
