Good post 7. I just lived thru one. The entire mountain I live on burned up. I was given 1 minute to get out by the sheriff that came up to alert me, the fire was moving that fast. The fire fighters stayed up here overnight keeping my home soaked while the fire raged all around them for hours and hours!! Balls the size of beach balls on these guys!! I was evacuated 7 days. Then when I returned, the ‘hot spot’ crews were up here for 2 weeks straight, 12 hours a day, putting out flare ups, digging up stumps, soaking hot spots etc. etc. They were a crew of about 14 Mexicans and one white guy and they worked their tales off. I couldn’t do their job in a million years. I’m still having nightmares about what I saw but thank God for all of those MEN.
You really shouldn’t have been living there in the first place. How dare you put our men in danger for your safety.
thank God for those fire fighters down there but be assured they all made a HUGE amount of money.....which is why so many firemen from other states take these assignments...
