It's That Time Of Year Already

[Chevy350TPI 12]

Finished washing the truck and walk into my backyard.

Son of a bitch that's close ...

Got the call that I'm attending the fire.

Capt. Canada arrives in style.

Hey Jim, "my other ride is a" .......

Lucky I had a second to grab a couple pictures.

Couple dumps from the heli bomber took care of it.

-1 for living in a warm area with mountains and lots of trees.

damn yall get brush fires up there too huh?

we get a TON of em here, had a couple friends' houses burn down and a couple that came close. tis sucky.

i wish we had capt. canada helping with our fires, then we would never have a problem [/kissing ass]

[Chevy350TPI 12]

Sucks to hear about the homes burning down.

The planes are back and forth over my house ... shake the hell out of it. The river is only 5000 feet away from my house - pretty neat seeing them dip down and pick up water.

I need a tarp to cover my entire property. I'll be cleaning red fire retardent (yes, I said retard ... ha ha) off of my white siding for weeks.

Kinda funny ... I mean it's up on the mountain behind our homes, nothing we can really do about it as firemen. So we just fudgeed the dog for a bit and then went back to the hall - now the planes are doing the entire mountain and pretty much everything else they want to.

What I should've taken a picture of was the side of the road loaded with vehicles after the volunteer guys from other departments showed up in their own vehicles.

Lifted Silverado's, 3500 Rams, Crew Cab F350's, bunch of dualies as well. You're trying to focus on what you're supposed to be doing, but one nice truck after another driving by makes it hard.

Been there seen that.

I was about 50ft away from a massive forrest fire.

The "heil bomber" poured water on the fire and some of it spread onto the road ( where i was standing)

It feels so weird with all those little drops of water.

It was actual flames, prob flared up to about 20-30ft at times.

Very cool but also kinda scary.

P.S

The LA county forrest trucks are this puke green...almost as ugly as the memphis orange

[Chevy350TPI 12]

Well no chit, of course you've seen them.

[Acidburn 10]

we've had some bad fires here as well

Steve, you live in a really pretty area and i hope the houses and everyone is ok

PS: you need a system in the fire truck

[Supa_c 1]

i think Kents been drinking some more lol

there are some fire trucks here that are that funky green color too

[Chevy350TPI 12]

The only bad thing = they're not the best on gas.

Sure it's long and you can't park it real well ... that's why they have rear wheel steering and a huge bumper to help clear your parking spot.

The new one we got (pictured above) is stupid fast for a vehicle that heavy and large. Fast enough to make me not want to drive it at a high speed.

Steve - You have a nice yard.

Glad all is okay, but I know You are well prepared anyhow
