Feeling contemplative | Posted Jul 18th, 2008 at 6:55PM Tate3 Yes,these firefighters kick ****! {they are local friends of mine} |
 | Posted Jul 18th, 2008 at 7:05PM How very scarey.... please stay safe all +3 nods |
 | Posted Jul 18th, 2008 at 7:08PM, last updated Jul 18th, 2008 at 7:10PM Amazing pix, which hit me right in the heart. Five years ago our area had a massive wildfire in which hundreds of thousands of hectares of forest were destroyed, hundreds of houses, and untold livestock and wildlife. We were evacuated from our home for a month, without knowing if our house was safe or not. A great Firemen's Homecoming party was planned for next weekend by a local committee to dedicate the wildfire monument and to honour the firefighters who came to assist us from all over Canada and the U.S. in our time of need. Poor planning! It's firefighting season again, and none of the firemen can come! They're too busy fighting fires! +2 nods |
Feeling contemplative | Posted Jul 18th, 2008 at 7:16PM NANSELTAR It keeps getting hotter and drier and I wonder where it will all end... |
 | Posted Jul 18th, 2008 at 8:05PM Good informative post. That's a hot, dangerous job and yet they stay with it. Thanks Peace! +2 nods |
 Feeling inventive | Posted Jul 18th, 2008 at 8:24PM There is a special camaraderie amongst firefighters. I think that is what allows them to face such fires without fear though with respect for the flames and of course each other. +2 nods |
 | Posted Jul 18th, 2008 at 8:34PM wow. They are brave what they are doing. +2 nods |
 | Posted Jul 18th, 2008 at 9:00PM It's just amazing how much work these people have done already this year, here in July before the fire season rally gets started. +2 nods |
 | Posted Jul 18th, 2008 at 9:18PM Thanks so much for sharing. I truly admire these guys for all they are doing. +2 nods |
