On the Road

We met up with the outgoing crew last night. I’m glad I don’t drink because it was a late night and the boys wanted to celebrate.
Received intel that we are going to Fredericksburg, TX so if there is any members there I would love to meet up one evening.
The crew we relieved flew out this morning but filled us in on what they were doing. They got dispatched from California to Florida for a 33,000 acre fire. This engine is a 4x4 model which is the only way to go in the swampy areas of Florida. 2wd does no good here.
Their second day on the fire, after driving for 3 days to get to FL, it rained. They spent the rest of their 2 weeks doing prescribed fires for the Southeast Region of the USFS.
So, now we are heading to Texas to pre-position for any new starts there because it is grass fire season there right now until the green up. We should be floating around central TX for about 14 days then driving the engine back to San Diego County. Just in time for Spring Fling!
