Just got off rotation on the Royal gorge, Colorado fire. If any wildland Firefighters here, how has your season gone so far? Colorado is starting to blow up with new starts.

I'm not one, but we had a wildfire very close to me 2 days ago that was pretty bad. Had the slurry bombers going over my house constantly. It's drier than a grasshopper on a griddle here right now.
