Pocatello, Idaho has been a hot spot of activity this past week. Fires were plentiful and we were all fighting the fight, resources were thin at best and unavailable at times. Our people were tired and our machines dirty, but little by little, we began to prevail. We have contained many of the fires in the past few days and held others in check. Today, many of us enjoyed a well deserved rest and even those left on duty were blessed with a light day. This is what we do, it is who we are, and as one fellow fire fighter expressed at breakfast early one morning. “This is the life we have chosen.” We are an volunteer force, no one is here who doesn’t want to be.
