    Nice work on the fire - very intense. I'd hate to live in a country with so many timber houses, must be unnerving when a fire starts. Much respect for the volunteering fella.

    Yeah I know that feeling. Plays havoc with your social life sometimes. Kinda selfish of the g/f though.

    Amazing pictures, I wouldn't be caught dead near a fire - LOL. Not even close enough to get hit by a flying piece of burning wood... ha. Dang.

    I just read a book - the dad being a fire fighter and the son being an arson. It was interesting, but the point of the book was about the daughters. The firefighter stories in it are cool though. If you wanna read it: My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Piccoult :D -- He kept getting those pages and would have to speed toward the station.
