 We hope that exercise jogs your memory and got you thinking in terms of situational awareness and fire line safety again. With this in mind, let's run through a short recap of last year's fire season. According to the National Interagency Coordination Center, over 66,000 fires were reported in 2005, which is just below the 10-year average of around 70,000. However, we quietly burned over 8.6 million acres, which is well above the 10-year average of 4.3 million. The majority of these acres burned this last year were in the more flashy fuel models found in Alaska, the Great Basin, and in the Southwest. We also managed to burn 2.3 million acres on wildland fire use or prescribed fires. Overall, this was generally a mild fire season, which was fortunate because, as most of you know firsthand, what we lacked in fire activity we made up for in all risk activities. Over 13,000 employees from the wildland fire community responded to the hurricane relief efforts in the southeast in Texas. These assignments brought with them an entirely new set of safety concerns and hazards. This last season also took the lives of 12 fellow firefighters. Three were killed in one helicopter accident in Texas, three from heart attacks, three died in driving accidents, one person was electrocuted in Kansas, and one burned over fatality in Virginia and one more from a falling tree branch in North Carolina. As we move into this fire season, let's try our best to maintain situational awareness, follow established safety procedures, and be mindful of the value of your life and the lives of your coworkers.
