[QUOTE="kenny thomas, post: 842646, member: 8993"] I have read about the firefighters. It was on a small fire also according to the initial report. I have been to some of fires like you talk about in GA but I hate them. Shoot in 2008 the Bugaboo started in GA and burned into FL burning about 450,000 acres. By the time I got there all we done was drive the fireline and put out a few hotspots. We worked night shift and had 35 miles of line to patrol. I talked to our guys today and the fire we are going to is 5100 acres but is in a swamp also but he said they have reburns in some areas every day. Hope it will be in good shape by the time I get there. I am a lot more satisified doing initial attack but my thoughts of putting them out small might be frowned upon. I have been at this a long time and know how to keep my nose clean on the political side. At the same time requests are coming in every day for more dozers for TX, GA, and FL. Told them today to just let me go run a dozer and they said no. [/QUOTE]
