It was just a fright for us and a stark reminder of how dangerous this is.

We'll be dealing with this for years.

Some of the medium bulldozers can't get in and the heavier bulldozers are having trouble. That stretches our equipment even further.

It's that time of the year. It doesn't take much to get a fire up and running.

We're just so danged dry.

Anything that can cause a spark in these tinder-dry conditions will ignite it.
