Had to double check, both these guys work around here, that 48' pete is a freaking awesome truck though... The Deming log show has a bunch of vintage trucks that show up most years. About half of em are still working.

Yup...and that's just a limb he's climbing. Wait 'til they see the pictures of the tree!


EDIT...Never mind. I just remembered...the tree was so big that the camera had a nervous breakdown just trying to take it all in. The pictures of the limb will have to do. Sorry kids.

I have a few questions for the pros. What happens to most species of trees after a wild fire? Do they recover for the most part? Are some species not bothered or is wild fire certain death?
