One Wild Day


The Camdenton Fire Station

For the last couple weeks I have been stationed in Lebanon and Camdenton Missouri. The weeks have held the occasional perscribed burn and a couple false alarm wild fires, but today that all changed.

This week I am on a four person team stationed at a really cool fire house, complete with fire poles. We started our day around noon and went on a four acre wild fire at one. Around two we responded to another wild fire that was only about one acre. At three we responded to a 60 acre fire and by six thirty we were on another fire that was 86 acres. This last fire went until eight thirty. We put them all out and had a really good time. In one day I went on more wildfires then I have all fire season. Tomorrow is supposed to be an even better fire day... wish me luck.

  1. Didn't your mother ever tell you not to play with fire Elsa? You sound overly excited about having a better 'fire day' tomorrow! JK, Glad to hear you are enjoying it. Hope things finish up well for you in the last couple months here (crazy though!).
