Pretty interesting read from kenneth Jordan former Sierra hotshot sup. May he rest in peace. This took place right in my back yard. My grandfather used to hike down to that very spot when he was a kid.

Pewee Valley FD’s new rig arrived just in time for Christmas. Currently housed at station 2 (my house). We need to load it up with equipment, and I still have to do driver’s training before we put the new ride on the road for response.

Merry Christmas from the Valley!

“Interesting idea, but human output with handtools is far more productive than the Trail Buster.”

LoL or people who like their backs. How does a husqvarna 36 get to 45lbs?

It needs a "foot or leg" like the alpine magnum or my stumpmaster has

I thought we had 18 year olds with rakes, shovels and pulaskis for that?

 

[madhatte]

They can only rake so fast!

Fire line safety classes for hired vendors are starting up here in California. This class is necessary for anyone working on fires such as fallers, runners, cat skinners, etc. Is anyone signing up this year?

The news is reporting a skycrane crashed in Australia while fighting a wildland fire. It crashed "into a dam" and is laying upside down under water. The crew thankfully escaped unharmed. Dangerous work those guys do. At least we fallers have a chance to run away.

I'm just over the hill from you. Our Volunteer Fire Association has this training every year, so I'll get it as part of the program. Where in SC are you? Down low or up on the hill? We have a fire station on Loma Chiquita near Loma Prieta where we hold a lot of training.
