The waiting game!

In some parts of the western United States fire season has began. There are some fires doing what fires do. Here in region 6 there has been fire on the ground. It has started early in some parts of the region.

In case you are wondering region 6 covers Oregon and Washington state.

In some cases the work has started in some parts of region 6. For the rest of us we are playing the waiting game. Waiting to go to work. All of our preseason preparation is done and we are just waiting to go to work.

We could get a dispatch at any time, or it could be a week from now. Either way we will be ready to go when we get the call.

We are excited to go out to work. And this year we have the opprutunity to go to Utah, Southern Idaho, the extreme north end of Arizona, and a sliver of Wyoming. This is known in the fire world as Region 4.

It is some very vast, but beautiful country.

As always I will bring back the ever popular fire season as it happens. I will have pictures as well as the inside scoop of whatever fire that I am on. So I hope you enjoy following "Fire Season 2014".

Check back often because we may be dispatched at any time.......until then we play the waiting game.
