Guys, First off Let me say the local fire companies in the small local towns are Second to Nobody. They will run Balls to the the Wall for everyone. When the are Toned Out! These guys are our local Farmers/Ranchers/Ins. Agents/local business men and Women too. The problem is Fire danger is Sooo High at home they do not dare send more than one truck to help out at the other fires because if a fire breaks out at home they will be short handed on the home front. There are local trucks and tankers that help out too, In most cases these guys can get water to the fires but some areas are so ruff and remote that the firefighters and their trucks can be victims like the brush and structures too. The cedar breaks are one tough place to be when a fire get a head of steam built and has a tail wind pushing it, it can run at amazing speed, hard to get a place to make a stand to stop it, it can jump large fire breaks and start again. The short grass country is a easier place to make a stand or stop a fire than in the heavy cedar and brush areas. Also most of the guys fighting this fire are running on sheer willpower wayyyy past exhaustion!! Most guys are doing just as you said above getting their tractors and disks ready and praying you do not need to use them! Please keep us in your prayers, Texas as a whole need large amounts of rain right not to get this thing turned around. Thanks to all who have sent Volunteers to help out here. Thanks Y'all Later, John A.
