Thought Id get back to you guys.. Just got done with my first day. 9.1 hours and 8 fires later... holy cow. We watched a fire grow from a 20x20 area to consuming a 400 acre area of land. This job is a blast, but tiring. I get to do it all over again tomorrow. :D

Time for bed .

I flew Fire patrols for 2.5 summers in Maine. It's fun..... Nothing like a hot, humid day and circling smoke forever waiting for the Forest service to show up. If you have any questions, PM me or just post them here.... and I will do my best to answer them.

Goodluck!

Routes 971 and 990 right here! Awesome time!
