August 20: The Wildfire Doesn't Feel Like Something to Fear

Sunday, August 20, 2006

​Today I worked 6:30-1 and 5-8:30. I only slept for 1.5-2 hours this afternoon, compared to 3 hours yesterday.

The fire is still going. It’s up to 85,000 acres. The encampment of firefighters on the hills is breaking up. Only the helicopter division is staying. Starting Monday, they will eat breakfast and supper here and we will send packed lunches with them.

It was 30* F this morning, but hot in the afternoon.

I sent my check home so that Mom can deposit it for me.
