Hello everyone. Something has come up and I will be offline until probably Monday. In hopes of sticking around I figured I would explain a bit about what I do. I am a Wildland Initial Fire Attack Crew Leader working for the British Columbia Ministry of Forests. During the summer months my time schedule is extremely erratic and I find myself randomly shipped off to remote locations for unknown lengths of time dependant on weather, lightning, and fire behavior. It is now mid September which usually means fire season is usually pretty much over. My contract is officially over this upcoming Sunday, Sept 27. After which I move to a different town and begin my winter of R&R.
There was an unexpected turn in behavior of one of our massive surviving fires and I am being called to assist in supression efforts. Bad timing, as I just convinced Lumi to let me back into Phantasy after I was booted for inactivity during my last 2 week deployment. I waited until I figured fire season was over to reapply so I could dedicate more time, however, the fire gods are wily and refuse to let this summer end just yet. But I will be back in full force once everything settles down next week. Hopefully I will still get to see everyone once I get back. I wont be gone long.
