After a month of wildfires raging throughout the north state, we are finally reaching levels of containment. Our firefighters, and those from other areas (I've seen guys from Chicago, and heard that we have some from Greece!), have done a marvelous job, and should be commended. There were very few structures involved, and people were moved out of harms way. We even had a fireman rescue a baby bear cub. How great is that?
I am more than a little annoyed at the enormous waste of money the Prez and Gov's fly-over cost. It was not necessary, and the funds it took to pull off could have been used to buy more firefighting equipment, add to the firefighter's pay, or whatever have you.
I am so proud of my little brother for working for the fire department here, and for aspiring to be a firefighter. He is brave and strong, and will be a great one. Plus, chicks dig firemen!
