Jack Shit

Today we did jack shit. Everyone thought we'd be busy as hell with the lightening that hit Cedar City yesterday but we didn't go anywhere. The Boise Smokejumpers and a few Single Engine Air Tankers (SEATs) ended up on a fire south of town that turned out to be approximately 30 acres or so. Asides from that, we didn't do much of anything. We pulled weeds, refurbished our gear, and played horseshoes for a while. For the first time in almost a couple weeks, I came home without any overtime. Instead of going out like everyone else in the fire service is doing tonight, I'm sitting at home drinking a beer and studying up on my Wilderness Medical Society protocols and a few other fire and rescue topics I need to brush up on. A slow night but a relaxing one...
