So we finally consider ourselves settled in "Back Home". Last Thursday I got an email from our Assistant County Fire Chief to come in and get my gear for the local volunteer fire department, so I stopped in and got bunker gear for brush and structural. Saturday I went over to the station with Dad to get some brush up training on the truck and to do the monthly maintenance checks and no sooner did we get the mechanical checks done, we got a call!!

8 hours, 2000 acres (what the chief said), and something like 14 units to get this one down. They did send 2 units out later that night to watch a couple of hot spots near a house.

So the fun part was driving our local 5 ton Kaiser with 1000 gallons of water over what I usually call Jeep trails and the Flint Hills, but even better was taking it to town to refuel...down the interstate....at 45 mph... no emergency lights on, but I think people were confused because we had about 10 cars who wouldnt pass for almost 3 miles.
