    My Grandson spent a couple of days at forestry fire fighting school.
    I’m thinking this may be a glimpse into what he wants to do in a couple of years. [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    Reloader my daughter just received her wildlands fire fighting certification. She was trying to get a job with an all ladies crew in MT I think. Good for your grandson, people always say do what you love and you'll never work a day...

    I was a volunteer fire fighter/emt for 25+ years. Very little woodland fire experience but around here it is wet enough things usually didn’t kick up until we got a lot of wind. Those calls kicked my butt so I admire him being willing to at least try it out for sure.
