But most humans are attached to memories they would like to keep, like pictures and the other humans in their families. And, Yes I have lost these things. I commend any firefighter or support team and what they do, it's a hell of a job and they need support from the public in whatever way is needed. We were in the middle of the 49'er fire in '88 and we've had four more in the last two weeks. The Bridgeport fire is burning as I type, these people, ground and air are amazing at what they do and I will help them to the end. The environment is important also though, and with all the people that are now living in just about every nook and cranny of the countryside, maybe we need people like this guy to go out and start clearing the brush by hand for the good of the envirnoment!!!!
