I was expecting being laid off this Saturday because fire season is over in northern California I was getting bored of station work. Would have never thought I'd be in la protecting million dollar homes of producers and actors. There are reporters everywhere, been told me and my crew were seen on fox last nite doing our burn show. This place is raging, the winds are so strong and everything is explosively dry. I am working the nite shift from 1900 to 11am. I'm taking pics so I'll post them when I get home in a couple days or weeks. Dana

Last night the people of the houses we saved brought us all kinds of food. We had a flare up behind one of the houses me and one of my crew put it out while the rest of our crew was our watch outs. We're thinking we'll be going to san Diego tomorrow.

Thank you. I love this job. I love the physical and mental demands and how I am outdoors all the time. Helping people in need is a huge plus.

We have been reassigned to the ammo fire at camp pendleton. Its pretty much contained but they are sending us there because all the big fires in san Diego are around it. We'll probably be staged, waiting to roll to a new fire if one breaks.
