1958 F.W.D. Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 The closest I have ever come to doing that Wildland firefighting shit was range fires at Aberdeen Proving Ground- which was usually from the comfort of the cab of the air-conditioned brush truck and telling the helicopter on the radio where to go with the bambi-bucket (for air-dropping water.....) because you could not leave the road due to UXO's (unexploded ordinance.) I've been a structural firefighter my entire adult life and I will stick to structural firefighting, you can keep that wild land shit- NEVERTHELESS they are still firefighters, still my brothers, and I am absolutely heartbroken. I was literally sick to my stomach last night when I heard the news.
