Building Up Steam

The rest of the crew (I'm on days off) performed a recon flight over the Ft. Howes area to check if there were fires from the lightening storm last night. They got redirected mid-flight to initial attack (IA) a fire on the Northern Cheyenne reservation. So everyone got a fire and overtime. Except for those of us on days off. I could have followed in the second chase truck but those in charge decided it wasn't necessary to call me. Thats another $250 I didn't make. This on top of everything else is making me mad.
