More 2013 Fire pictures

Steep task, hold on Willy

Up on the hill

Spot fire across the line 

High powered foam. It was shot with a cannon. It didn't quite make it up to the spot fire.

The wash out

This isn't fog it's heavy smoke from the inversion. It burned our eyes and lungs.

Down time

I wanted to let everyone know that I am internet poor right now. Actually I am in a transition to a new net provider.

I'm sorry for the temporary absence. We will be getting our new service on Monday. Then I will be posting on the blog once again.

Keep checking back for the continued review of the 2013 fire season in pictures. Thanks for your patience.

Human after all

There is an ongoing battle between wildfire crews. The battle is Contractors vs Agency crews. I do t know why but there is.

It goes a bit like this: contractors suck, their lazy, they do a bad job, and so on. The Agency people think they can do no wrong. So there is competition between the two groups. Even though they work for the common goal.

So I wanted to show something we saw this year to show that we are all human. I'm not trying to offend anyone, but as a contractor I wanted to show that even though we too make mistakes were not alone.

Super Seahawks!

Congratulations! To the Hawks!

For those of us who have followed Seattle from the start, in 76, enduring all the ribbing and jokes we can finally enjoy being champs.

Enjoy the offseason glory of being a Seahawk fan. Then......

Next season let's go for the repeat. :)
