Sometimes, not very often, but sometimes I get to do cool stuff as a part of my job. Today I got to visit a fire lookout tower in Kakwa (south of Grande Prairie). Then I got to write about it. Though I was pressed for time, I managed to get something together for Friday’s paper. I don’t think it’s a great piece but I hope Maurice is okay with it. See for yourself here Where there is Smoke
My day was super cool. I needed help fastening the harness. Maurice puts his harness numerous times during a typical day.
Yup and here is the tower!
That’s Kelly Burke, an information officer for the Smoky Management area, with Maurice Bolduc. Don’t they look cute together? Kelly is super cool.
So I have to show you these last two pics. I am not up on my firemen hierarchy but these guys are the elite RAPP guys, who repel out of the choppers to fight the big blazes. Now that’s cool… ur… hot
