Living in northern Idaho, summer time here means wild fire season. And this year is no different, I am currently surrounded by fires, one is only about 5 miles from my house. We had a horrible wind storm on Monday which caused massive damage and downed powerlines. These powerlines caused a record 58 wild fires. Living in a constant state of alertness, to be prepared in the event of evacuation, smoke filling the air. Its a scary place to be right now.
A book about Smoke Jumpers seems fitting to read now.

Reckless of a life he no longer wants, again and again he dares death to take him, until another fateful day on another continent, he must walk through fire once more…
