Fires in Nothern California

Today is one of my days off and I went down to the office to use the gym. I checked the Situation Report posted on the wall and was surprised to see Northern California picked up 18 new large uncontained fires overnight! Almost all of those fires are complexes, or a bunch of small fires that are grouped into a larger unit for organizational purposes. For example the SHU Lightning Complex is actually made up of 130 smaller fires, all lightning strikes. There is no reason why we shouldn't get out on these fires. I'm so ready to get out of here that every time my phone rings my heart jumps hoping its a fire call. I just hope our belly hook is fixed and doesn't hold us back.
