BNW: Your company does helicopter logging also. How does the payment compare--logging vs. firefighting? Merlich: Firefighting is more lucrative. You know, logging you need a dozen timber fallers, a dozen guys for the woods crew, that's 24 men. You need log loaders, you need a lot more equipment, a lot more labor. There's a lot more involved. Fighting fire you need pilots, mechanics, you need a water bucket, a couple of pickups, a fuel truck, that's it.

yikes. that's somewhat telling.
