Lorne;
Good evening to you sir, I hope the day was a good one for you and this finds you well.
If you're in touch with your grandson, let him know there's lots of folks here in BC wishing them well in their endeavors for sure.
We're within a half hour of the US border here and know or better said knew a few folks in the forest fire fighting business. Whenever possible they'll go stateside and help out if asked to do so.
It's my understanding the Canuck crews are typically quite good at what they do, which makes sense as they've had a metric ton of interface fire practice here in BC in the last few years.
Anyways, for a lot of us rural mountain and bush dwellers, the fire fighters have a special spot in our prayers.
All the best to you all this fall sir.
Dwayne
