When we need them, I am awful glad to see them show up. There is a martin mars stationed on the island I don't think it's used anymore but talk about impressive. Burnaby has lots of grassland and every year we had at one or two massive brush fires, calling in the choppers to dump on them to help the guys who slogged in and fight with portapumps, my hat was always off to the forest guys, building fires we went in took care of business even if 8 to 10 hours, but there was an end, the forest guys go in stay in til the deed is done. 3 Quote
