Finally saw fire

We worked a double shift yesterday and finally saw some fire. It came over theridge and crept down to the house we have been protecting. There is 5 engines in our area that have set up a sprinkler system to run around the houses. Then we have been running them with Mark 3 pumps from the nearby creek. Today we found out we are going onto night shift. We may be on it untill the end of our tour. We should be back home around the 23 or so.
It looks like we will have a second tour on this fire so our stay at home will be a short one. As usual i will try to keep you posted as i have service. Thank you for all of your comments. I am sorry i am not able to answer them all but i will try to when i get home.
Today we are in Salmon doing laundry before we go on shift tonite so i wanted to give a update to you. Sorry for the poor writing on these posts but i usually have only a few seconds or minutes to update if any.
I have taken lots of pictures and will post them when i get home or soon after the season is over.
Thanks for following along with me!
To Mike W: aaarruuuuu oh common!
