Picnic Fire

Started my Engine Boss trainee detail this past Sunday with E-261 in Miles City. We got sent to a small fire in the Cave Hills of South Dakota on Tuesday afternoon. It was pretty well under control by the time we got there but we got to help out with a little night burn. Our second day on the fire we mopped up a little and let the interior burn itself out. As a result we had plenty of time to put together some log furniture. I was pretty proud of myself for ripping those boards for the table top reasonably straight! The second night on the fire we got a lot of rain, which pretty much put the rest of the fire to bed. We stayed through the burning period on the third day then headed back to Miles City. A nice little fire that kept us out on our days off! The best kind.
