I helped the forest service fight a fire in the Wayne national forest in 1958 while a student at Ohio university. There was a time that we were lying on the ground in order to breathe but we had a good leader that kept us alive. I have a tremendous respect for folks that do this for a living and that help preserve the beauty of our country. KUDOS To all !
