Not the right sort of employment for those who you tend to sleep on the
job. Wake up, and you're in the middle of an inferno.
Serves you right I suppose.

Thanks, Dave (I think <g>). Yeah, those waterbombers are cool. A
friend of mine had a summer job at the forest fire towers in Alberta.
Out in the middle of nowhere, he was only allowed to turn on his
electric generator for about an hour a day, in order for his gasoline
to last the whole week or however long his shift was.
When he saw a plume of smoke, he'd radio to headquarters, give them a
location, and some time later the water bombers would come, put out
the (still small) fire, and go away.
He said it was neat...
cheers,
frank
Actually i was hoping to get a job in the fire towers in Northern
Ontario.Thats what i
liked about the
job.The solitude. At one with the trees and wind.
As students we went on supply runs for the tower guys every other week.
They all liked the
job and if
i had of bought my SP500 a year ealier,would have had some neat pic;s.
