Some of What I Have Been Doing...

This is the fire on Elmendorf Air Force Base. It was about 80 Acres.


This shot was taken on the Elmendorf Fire.

This photo is complimets of the Anchorage Daily News. It shows our guys doing structure protection on the big fire out on Point Mackenzie Rd. They were doused with retardent by the tanker.
This is a shot that one of our firefighters took after the big retardant drop from above. It shows the red coloring of the retardant. This fire was about 460 acres.
This is another Anchorage Daily News photo. It shows one of the hot shot crews that was working structure protection. Also in the picture is the flag that was covered in retardant by the tanker. It was given to our firefighters by the landowner and is now hanging in our engine bay. These guys managed to save every defendable structure threated by the fire. Only two structures were lost, and I don't believe they were homes.
