Whee.. fire.. finally..

Yup, finally another fire. 'bout time something exciting happened. Interesting thing about this fire is that it wasn't in Bethel, it was in Tuluksak, about a 18 minute plane ride from Bethel. So we took a plane to the fire- added bonus of fun. :D lol. Oh, hold on, another fire call just came in, just down the road from here... doesn't sound serious enough for me to go to the station, but I'm gonna go check it out, be back in a few minutes. OK, I'm back, it wasn't serious, just some kids. They were swimming in a lake, and got a little cold, so they decided to start a fire where they not supposed to.. so they got a visit from three cops and 7 firefighters, 3 in full turnouts, and 4 in regular clothes.. he he he.... lots of excitment today.. wow. lol.
So anyway, the fire this morning. Tuluksak called at 4am, asking for help, little after 5am we're rolling down the runway, 5:20 we land at Tuluksak. We saw the fire from the plane, and could tell that we were a little late to be much help. The people of Tuluksak had done a good job at containing the fire, and with only one pump feeding two 1 1/2 hoses (poor water pressure), a chainsaw and a bucket brigade, they had kept the new school, the trees, and the city fuel tanks from burning up. By the time we got there, the danger was over. I took some pictures just minutes after we got there, and you can see that it was basically over. But anyway, I got to have some fun, not everyday I get to ride an airplane to the fire. lol.

Here's one of the first pictures taken after getting there. The tin roofing really made it hard to get to all the little fires and put them out.

Well, I gotta go, Talk to ya'll later,

Well, I've been home for awhile, this is just the first post since being home. I've been slacking, thursday night was the last time I posted.. that's been awhile. Well, I've been busy, too.. Since the last post I've test rode a Mini Cooper(Jag drove, I rode), got on the plane, mechanical problem with plane so got back off the plane. plane was then delayed three hours... Since I've been home I've played 'First to Fight' xbox game for hours, played paintball, got some bruises, played 'First to Fight' some more, slept in late.. worked out for the first time in 5 weeks (I'm feeling it today, lol), played 'Ghost Recon 2' with Bro.Johnny for 6 hours, slept in again.. played frisbee 'footbal', and just now got back from watching Matt play 'KillZone' for 4 hours. That's a pretty awesome game. Now it's almost 2am.. gonna sleep in again.. lol. OK, goodnight ya'll...

All the little kids ain't so little anymore! lol. Met up with my old friend Keith again. Haven't seen him since last time. It's was great getting to talk to him again. Got in trouble again too, this time also got Paul pulled in to it. :D lol. The three of us turned into the "I`ll stay in my cabin" Brothers!! lol. We snuck out on the first night of camp!! and got caught... lol. Didn't help that Keith was wearing a white shirt, and pants that had bright yellow smiley faces all over them!! lol. Well, anyways, as a punishment for that, we had to say, "I'll stay in my cabin" before we could say anything to anybody!! lol. And then we had to write a song! lol. It was all great! Well, I gotta go for now, I'll talk to ya'll soon!
