I have not heard on the radio if any person, how many animals and the estimated acreage that was burnt. I'd like to thank our brave Firemen and Firewomen for their bravery, determination and commitment to save people, property and animals lives.
I had an opportunity, as a child, long ago, to work side by side with the Forest Rangers to help stop a controlled burn. I may have been thirteen at the time. My memory is a bit blank from my youth. Anyway, I was given simple edicts.
"Use your pick axe and dig a line around the fire. Meet up with so and so. That is great work. Have you used a pick axe before?"
"Yes ma'am, I have. Helping out at home."
"It is great you know how to use one. Most kids don't know the difference between a shovel and a pitchfork.

Why do many kids today, in well to do countries and or cities, despise tools?
You can hand a shovel to a kid and they'd squint both eyes, scratch their heads and ask, "Um yeah dude, what is this?"
"In your hand you hold a shovel. It is used for various purposes. It could save your life if you knew how to use it properly."

Young kids are consumed by the need to know all about technology. e.g. Computers, smartphones, game consoles. What matters in life is the pursuit of your own happiness.
Find or make a career. Serving hamburgers at either a restaurant or fast food joint will pay bills. Does it make you smile or grimace? I am in this situation right now. I will save for a year for college. Work on my hobbies. My documents and my AE86. Then I'll go to college and become a Radiation Technician.
Marriage and kids will make me complete and content. I can't ask for more.
When you see a Fireman or Firewoman tell them how much you appreciate their dedication to save people, property and animals.
