Three week shift done. On break for a week before I go back out. Got home an hour ago.

Did I miss anything neat?

Feel free to ask about my adventure so far. I've got some stories to tell. Goin' to sleep in a bit. Will answer whatever I miss in the morning.

"Ornate chandeliers suspended from a vaulted ceiling lit the spacious chamber; Jack tilted his gaze overhead and noticed how far away they were.  His thoughts wove around those bright lights, like a dance of ether masses spiraling in precious unison. Why must we try to clutch desperately for the mere threads of this world when we can clasp onto a tapestry of untold magnificence beyond this plane of existence?"
You missed me on a deep, self actualizing, unconscious level.

Welcome back.

How was it? Be honest.

Hardest fucking thing I've ever done in my life. On the first day I asked myself what the fuck kind of stupid was I on when I signed up.

They put me on dirt lines and cleanup teams behind advancing firefighters. Stuffed into a fire retardent suit at 90-100 degrees from early dawn to sunset.

Bugs. Heat. Smoke. I can't even describe what it's like up there. There is so much shit burning up there right now.

Ah, Old Man Sandy!

How you doing?

I'm taking a week off. And doing fucking nothing. And I'm going to enjoy seven days of fucking nothing. Like sleeping. And eating not shit food. And an air conditioner.

I'm okay.

Well, your name changed. Don't know who you are. But yeah.

Verbatim is still an obnoxious ass.

Loaf takes loafs in the ass. He also hates religion apparently.

Elegiac is on vacation I guess. So no foxes. Praise peace!

Comms Occifer is alright I guess.

SecondClass is still beta.

And more but I don't feel like posting the status of active members.

Oh, and we have a few more I guess new active members.

It's funny because I learned how to use an oxygen tank. Aha!

Actually, yeah. You're absolutely right. I passed through one of the towns that got steam rolled up north by the fires. Total ghost town. Honestly, with all the military guys around and the aircraft non stop?

Yeah. I did.

War on fire. I've been keeping track. 475 000 hectares have burned. There's a fire up north that's 100 000 hectares in size.

Makes sense. Southern winds wouldn't blow it sideways.

My entire province was covered in it for weeks. Seems to have finally cleared up now. Lol.

Hope the states enjoys all the second hand smoke.

Holy crap. It sounds like the fire's got a damned mindset. Of which is to burn anything and everything.

That's pretty damn scary. You're a brave guy fighting pissed off fire.

City up north. La Ronge. They got the all clear to go back. Apparently the news is calling it the biggest "natural" disaster in my province's history. 50 communities wiped out or evacuated and 13,000 people displaced.

Just the clean up behind the fire fighters. Spotting small brush fires and such. Digging trenches to cut off other fires before they approached.

There's two reasons why the fires are so out of control. Three actually.

Thunderstorms.
Drought.
And intentionally started.

The government is pissed. They're launching investigations. Something like 15% of the 121 active fires were started intentionally.

That's insane. But still, the afterburn is still pretty dangerous. Can't imagine what the front lines see. Fire tornadoes I would bet.

And lord, so there's arsonists/pyromaniacs running amuck possibly? Sounds like complete chaos and strife.

Not arsonists, no. This has happened before. Firefighting outfits get paid big money to put out fires. There've been cases in Quebec's and Toronto's history of firefighters starting fires for, well, you guessed it, big bucks.

I can tell you waht the front lines see though since I could see them from the back.

Imagine a forest as far as your eyes can see. Trees 50-70 feet tall. And they're all on fire. And up above that the sky is just fucking black.

Wow...

I was at one of the shelters in Saskatoon for a bit before I shipped out. The place is fucking packed. Like, there was no room in there for anybody. Just bunks and bunks of people. Dude, the fucking street outside, the back alleys around the place had tents for people to stay in.

Essentially it's fucking hell on Earth. With the heat and everything.

And yeaah, I get the Firefighters starting fires for extra pay. It's morally wrong, and places people in danger. Selfish greedy defenders.

No joke, you could actually call it a warzone. The canadian military sent 1000 troopers in to help a while back. There's choppers up in the air at all hours and even water bombers.

Good news is, it's being pushed back now.

On the plus side. I got to ride in a helicopter! That was fun. Anyway. Calling it in for the night. See you guys in the mornin.
