Baptism! The colorful term for those who get sprayed with fire retardant from the air tanker, for the first time!

| When he is not on the line, they stand watch looking for spot fires and waiting to be called out. Did I say 'stand watch'? And they get paid for this!! |

As you can see, the boy is in it up to his knees! Apparently he has loved it so far and the best times have been on the lines. He has gotten little time off and is currently in standby mode to be taken to any incidents that spring up either by helicopter or truck, whichever gets him and his team there sooner. Currently they are in a mop up mode so he is thinking he will be back to the Division Base sometime through the week. He has had some pretty cool stories what couple of times we have talked with him,, and it sounds like he is looking forward to the next scene! He is definitely living his dream! We taught him well.
