We use chainsaws to to clear brush away, and then pulaskis to clear everything down to mineral soil. We only get two pairs of pants for up to 14 days of working in the blistering heat of California, which is only magnified by the heat of fire. Between the dust that makes our teeth black from breathing, the dirt that colors our legs dark, the sawdust from chainsaws, the ash from the fire, the smoke in the air, the gasoline and bar oil from our saws, and the slime of fire retardant dropped from planes and helicopters, yeah, i'd say our job is dirty.
yea i agree im also a fire fighter in PA tho and are brush fires dont get that big and i was on my way to one but it was a false alram but i wondering how it was in a brush fire cuz im movieing to CA wen im 18
I think it could most definately be interesting to see our brave host covered in fire retardant. Fighting forest fires can be very dirty from what I've seen. Can they get him close enough to taste the retardant?
