We're 3 weeks into June and it has done nothing but rained it's ass off. This time last year we were already well into our fire season with the Corn Creek Fire that grew over 2500 acres before being considered "controlled". Here we're getting rain on an average of every other day. For us firefighters here in Color Country (and probably everywhere), every day at work we see rain proves demoralizing for the fire season outlook (as well as that of our seasonal salary). It's like I explain to everyone that's not a firefighter: firefighters and EMT's don't wish death and destruction on anyone...but we damn sure want to be there when it happens. Anyways, our days have been spent trying to find things to keep us busy. Hopefully it picks up and we can get away from the base for a while...I think we all are getting pretty restless...
