@jacob j. ...You are a Man amongst Men...make no bones about that! I’d be privileged to shake your hand one day. I know we battled different enemies in our past and lifetime... I’d enjoy a good sit down at a fire pit...just shooting the *s-wordt!

Great words You’ve hit the nail on the head That would be one fire pit I’d enjoy

This is a picture of a super scooper fighting the Fork fire near me. That is Loon lake.

Good pic!

Not mine by no means. Not allowed anywhere near there right now. Someone from the forestry Dept shared it.

Hollowed out hog I cut yesterday. Of course it was leaning towards a road and power lines. 661 with a 28 inch bar and hydraulic wedge for the win!

Just heard the worst case scenario of the two fires converging in Clackamas County.

Mainly the weather - the good news is we have rain coming starting on Monday. It won't be enough to put all the fires out, but it will slow everything down enough to
where fire crews can get a handle on things. Right now, on the big fires like Riverside and Santiam, there's just not enough firefighters, so they're doing "point protection",
which is where they protect developments, critical infrastructure, homes, and other resources while allowing the fire to spread in uninhabited areas. We had to do that on
the Iron Complex for a while in 2008 because we simply didn't have enough people. Some of the largest fires won't be completely out for a year or more. The Biscuit fire still
had heat in the deep interior as late as the Summer of 2004, almost two full years later. Buried organic material and stump holes had continued to smolder for that long.

On the Tyee fire in 1994, they had rappellers and smokejumpers going after interior hotspots after we got the fire contained (which took seven weeks). It's good for aerial
resources because it helps them maintain proficiency and certifications. ODF and the Forest Service will have engines patrolling the interior of the Riverside fire until
well after the snow flies.

That too...
