Many firefighters will get at least a couple of days to go home and pay the mortgage and do the laundry before they're called up for more fires. |
The good news is the storm front passing through doesn't appear to have too much dry lightning. That works in our favor, but the winds won't help existing fires. |
They will follow the fire line and put out any embers outside the fire line. When they get used to the routine -- because it is hard and long physical labor -- then they'll move into more complex situations as they go along. |
We've still got a long way to go. |
