I don't think that was the moon. Fire on the hills.

Got called to work, our other on call comm guy is tied up at the Sylmar Fire. Fixed a MDT on an engine in Glendora. They're in for the night the engineer said. Ran into an old buddy, Capt Tenboe from Yucaipa. Now Chief Tenboe. Chief asked about my bear hunting.

Chief was there to glom the Patrol 86 (P86) Old Cheby service bed. Not sure where they were taking it. Some poor FF is going to be sleeping in that truck manning a radio on some dark ridge tonight.manning a radio. This was the old P86, not the newer Patrols we have. Chebys too if I remember right.

Lots of radio traffic tonight, the most I can remember in LA since I moved here in 1980. I asked many of the older FFs and they all said it's the worst in their careers. Not since 1961 Bel Air fire said county super Zev Zeraslavsky.

Fire is not laying down in many areas. Lots of crews rehabing at Hansen Dam and gettin ready for tomorrow. Some of our inmate camp crews went in at Carbon Canyon tonight near (Chino) to try and cut some lines there in the dark. Old boyscout ranch in there and Olinda trailer park. Lots of huge deer, rattlers and cougars live in there in those steep hills. Almost a wilderness in the middle of Los Angeles.

Tough work, even for them hard inmates who train like military with marches with heavy packs straight up mtns. "Morning Walks" they call them.

10-7 for some late supper.
