Fireline Series #1

First of all I would like to say what a wonderful community Am3 is. The level of support and creativity found here surpasses all expectations I had when I first joined. I would like to say thank you to all who have stopped by my site and commented, and especially to those who stop by on a regular basis. You have breathed new life into a passion that was stagnent for longer than I would like to admit.
That said, I would like to try something different for me. A series of sort.
I fight Wildland fires in the summer and have so many images that never see the light of day, I thought I would do a 5 day project to stick my toe in the journalistic waters and see how it feels.
These images were all taken this summer in Arizona, Nevada or Idaho.
I have not been real discriptive in my past postings so this will also be new for me. As always I welcome any comments. Thank you all for the jump start I've been needing.

This First Image is a back burn we were doing on a fire in the Boise National Forest in Idaho. It's a beautiful forest, mostly Douglas Fir and it was hard to watch so much of it destroyed.
