Awesome guide. 42 years i worked for the US Forest Service. We cut fire breaks in the Eaton Canyon area by hand. In the Winter time we would burn them out. We did good work in the late 70s early 80s.
I also worked for L A County Fire. My duty station was Camp 9 Crew 9-1. We had the best hand crews and pilots back in the late 1970s and 1980s. As they do today.
