I was in a Fire Aviation conference all week and didn’t get the call to TX but many of our people have went. Honestly, I’m burnt all the damn way out. I’ve poured my life and health into many futile efforts fighting fire and some pretty big victories.
These pics are not of the current fires but from when I got deployed to TX two years ago. Fighting fire in the plains is a whole other animal than forest fires. You don’t “catch” them. God tells it when to stop. The weather change (wind/precipitation) is the only thing that helps.
