not cool person. people loose their lives to this. and not just in a physical form. but their memories, pets, items of emotional value, hand donws from generations to generations. i give nothing but the up most respect to these men and women for protecting what we love. so much i am currently taking my classes for oregons 2009 wildfire season. may our lookouts be awake.

I hope you were wearing at SCBA or similar respiratory device. Everyday in that stuff takes a year off your life.

today was my firefighting meeting and right in the middle the sirens went off..i had no equipment..either way i went out there and was raking embers back into the fire i just about passed out from the fumes but we got it done but my leg is burnt a little o well i guess extra crispy is better than raw :D

im just guessing here, but maybe he was trying to wet the brush. I don't think there was much hope in putting out the fire in that shot with one hose.

That looked intense..good job! It must suck having those low powered hoses, but I understand it with the water supply problems at brush fires.
-
i was wondering the same thing, why he was shooting the water upwards
-

I was a little cautious....The wind was not blowing like it could, so it wasnt so bad. I was worried more about my car and being able to get back to it in time in case it blew up around or toward me.
