Jay,
Love to come, can't unless you have a really large forest fire near by.

Not sure but I can consult with the controlled burn folks and get back

Michelle P, totally off topic, I heard that Gov. Swartzenegger ordered
the forrest servcie to contract the DC-10 tanker. Do you know if it
saw any action in Catalena?
He can order the DC-10 for the CDF Calif dept of Forestry. The US Forest
service refuses to use it. It cannot spot dump. It is only good for
laying in long, long retardant lines. The plane is not that maneuverable
as well. No something we do often and it is very very expensive to run.
about $30,000/ hr.
