| When I was working for the Bridger-Teton National Forest we had a "field day" where all the crews from around the forest got together to consolidate techniques and meet everyone from the other crews. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
| It was a great day. Hazard pay for doing "Hover Hookups", burning a little sagebrush, putting it out with the engines and the portable pumps, setting up blivits and porta-tanks. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Right
here you can see what a Hover Hookup is..
We spent a week in "Helitak" training to learn such things. |

| Eating smoke is really a lot funner than it sounds... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Because there are some really fun ways to put fire out.. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
.. A Running Attack - where the fire engine follows the "hoser" around and you get a lot of water down on a large area in a short time.. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| And then it gets really interesting !! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Then finally at the end of the day you realize what a team you have become. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Look for lots more coming in the future. If you read the other page (the all text one) then you know that I have alot of great pics from Idaho and Colorado, too! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
