Speaking of Fire Season
Yesterday, my son-in-law headed off to fire school with the WA DNR. I think he's going to enjoy it a lot.

It's nice that there are still people willing to work that hard.

I did the U.S. Forest Service training in 1977. Was an experience of a lifetime. Got on some smaller fires never did the traveling gig.

I fought fire for the US Forest Circus in the mid 90's for three summers. It was a blast. I would have continued on doing it, but my wife didn't like the danger factor... and the away from home factor.

I worked side by side with many smokejumpers and can attest they mostly do not live up to that reputation at all.

Been a volunteer fireman since 1983 . We are mixed ,part rural ,part suburban. We also work with the NC forestry service to fight woods fires . The training is intense and learning to deploy the fire shelter will make you think long and hard! Hats off to your son-in- law. The brotherhood of firefighters is amazing.
