Cannon's-A-Burning


I'm not sure Cannon AFB Fire Department knew what they were getting, having two Battalion Chiefs from Vandenberg AFB Fire Department assisting them in conducting prescribed burning at Cannon AFB.


I left Sean alone for two minutes with a drip torch and look what happened.


What a great trip! We assisted them in burning 200 acres of grassland on a new target range. We finished in two days despite the winds giving us a hard time. They were forecasted to be too high to burn. They turned out to be to calm and when we did have the wind it was erratic. With a little ingenuity we managed to get it all burned.


And we get paid to do this!!
