RE: A Day With A Lineman #42 ~ First Snow of the Year
Fire fighting is serious business. You've got to give credit to those firefighters in Australia, they have been at it for months.

For sure!!! Those forest fires/wild fires seem to never end. Sometimes we are there while the fire is still going just a few hundred yards away. Granted where we are the fire has already been and all the is left are house foundations, melted kids toys, and a puddle of aluminum from the aluminum fishing boat. It gets a little creepy at night when wondering the woods after a fire has ripped through and burnt everything. Silence... everything is black/gray and al I am trying to do is make sure all the Powerlines are up so we can energize it. Armed with a flashlight I could handle anything. HAHAHA. Then there is the black boogers that seem to be never ending when you blow your nose... HAHAHAHA nasty
Pulling up the rear has its own set of circumstances that sure as heck can play with your head, even if your physical well-being is not in peril. Just being there following the footsteps of the fire has got to be tough. To see people loose what has taken a life time to build can't be easy, especially for a family man like yourself.
