After 6 Seasons with Cal-Fire, and 7 Years of College, I finally said it out-loud.

Upon returning to California, I plan on doing an observational research study on Wildland Firefighters that will be the foundation of future research and what I have been working towards since entering the fire service in 2005.

Lesson on the Human Heart

In the wake of this sad week for firefighters, I can't help but feel bewildered by the attitudes of some firefighters.

Katy,

The fire service is a tricky business, and I am very glad to see you are carrying on in its proud tradition for your family.

I just read your note, Thank you so much for the kind words. Those kind words of appreciation go a long way for me. My wife smiled as she read your comment with me and understands why I drive 6 hours to teach at COS.
