Sounds like a good class, but I dont see many wild fires in da hood, so I'll pass on this one.

The wildland guys and gals get alot of respect from me.

If I have a problem with the fire flaring up all around me, I bail out of the structure and I'm OK.

If you guys have the same situation in the middle of the forest, you have to duck into your shelters and hope you don't get cooked!

Not to mention stretching a 200' preconnect is nothing compared to hiking into the woods to go to work.

Keep up the good work Brothers and Sisters. I sure wouldn't want to do it.
