"YOU CAN TELL WHEN A FIRE IS STARTING TO BE CONTAINED---THE ACREAGE STARTS TO GO DOWN!!!"
And from that quote you can tell our fires aren't. We have steadily gained acreage since we arrived---we are currently at 9731 acres and by tomorrow it will be over 10,000. The Klamath Hot Shot crew is doing an exceptional job of a burn out this afternoon and haven't lost any acres outside the line so maybe we are going to finally have some success. Guess we have had a lot of success already since we've burned around a lot of houes and structures and so far haven't lost any---time will tell but I think we may be close to winning the day we leave---we won't win in our tenure....too much fire and too few crews and engines.

For every house you save, there's a grateful family that gets to live there. :)
No one will ever know how many of those are in my back pocket.

I tried to read his blog for fire stuff but he has way too much stuff that I don't care about for me to find the fire stuff---sorry---I did spend about fifteen minutes trying to find it.
