Don: In 1975 & 1978, I worked in the Cleveland and Angeles National Forests fighting fire. I'll never forget the close calls we had trying to save million dollar homes as the Santa Ana winds moved wildfire like I've never experienced. I learned how to be very professional in southern California. I was also structure trained in Los Angeles county. During red flag warning, I could take a cold shower late at night after my shift ended, step outside in the dark and dry off faster with the hot air, than using a towel.
I've never been involved in a discussion/chat site before so I'm getting to experience the excitement and addiction that my children have with face book etc. I've been able to understand them better since I became a member, but the great trees are my interest so I have to suffer a little with the enjoyment. I never thought this experience would help me connect with the younger generation.
