That doesn't make sense, then he'd lose even more time.Quote:

So structural fire fighters have someone to look up to!
Sorry, Decrease in speed.Quote:

So much so its hard to get funding for wildland. Typically we have to go to other sources (Fed, Excise tax, Bake sale) What they fail to understand down at the capitol is that in rural areas, wildland is the primary threat to structure. If we stop it in the woods or grasslands, then the houses don't burn down. Makes sense here right? But try and get money for a Type 6 and you're SOL. Sure we can get a new tender or class A, but we already are well outfitted with engines. The problem is that most of the guys and girls down at the State Firemarshals Office are big city/ structure FF's. They don't quite understand the wildland world, except for what they remember from that terrible Howie Long movie. So typically we are now ordering Type 6's, calling them Urban Interface units and slipping them by the state. It works for the engines, but its still a challenge to get approval to purchase other gear (uniforms, tools etc) Luckily those things are cheaper to purchase than structure stuff, so we are able to swing it with other funding sources. So there it is... Rant over.

On a side note, we got a UTV over the summer, Honda Pioneer, that we outfitted with a flat bed and a little slide in with a pump, 70 gals of water and a rescue sled rail. Neat little thing and works great for climbing up to the rimrock of the local mtns. It's alot more maneuverable than a truck up in the trees. Plus its fun!! Will have to get some pics for you guys one of these days.
I'm going to try to call tonight. It doesn't help when I keep working until 7pm... [facepalm]Quote:

That's just when I'm getting out of work today... Then a 45 minute drive home, then dinner with the HB family, then put HB Jr to bed, then Mrs HB has to tell me about her day.... It's a process that I can't afford to disrupt! If I can't call him tonight, I'll just wait until the weekend.Quote:
