Ive fought forest fires and structure fires. Ive fell burning trees on fire lines. Its a dangerous job. Next thing will be no ground crews...to dangerous. A fire chief said to me, a few years back, WorkSafe is going to put us out of business. Its sad what happened but its the risk you take when working in a high risk enviroment.

Maybe better training would help instead of sending Our Tax Dollars to Off Shore Accounts! 😡
