....."This bill would give the Forest Service unprecedented powers and pack their purses with money to continue to build up that power and equipment and men"........WOW, you couldn't be further from the truth if you drove for 3 days !!!!! WHAT MONEY ???? WHAT POWER ???? WHAT EQUIPMENT ...

So Bobpbx, by your post your motto must be don't do as I do, do as I say. Your convictions about the pinelands are warranted so long as it doesn't reflect on where you reside. Interesting.

GermanG.....wells said. A truly relevant comment about the range and its ecosystem. While some posters here champion their opinions, many are without completely being thought through the entire process. By that I mean opinions are made without allowing for both pro and con, and seemingly...

dragoncjo.....I am fairly well versed in the ecology of the pines, but I am no expert. With that said, how about we insist that individuals refrain from name calling when they speak in regards to the NJFFS. While to the eye it may appear that their work seems reckless at times, I assure you...

Trenton Old Stock. The picture you posted was a firing break, with a plowed firing line. This was performed by the Range. As most of the posters on this website have no idea about fire management, I read with great amusement the name calling amongst them all. And they dare to call themselves...

Range did it !!!

The time it takes for a gas tank to rupture and explode is certainly longer than the time it would take for a wildland head fire to pass through. I am not saying that one should remain in the vehicle for an extended period of time. In most instances, the fire will pass in 30-60 seconds. The...

Yes, I meant just that. Given the choice between getting caught in the open, or taking my chances in a vehicle, I'll take the vehicle. This advice does not come from me directly, but rather through just about every wildland training course I've ever attended. Your survivability is much...

I assure you, it gets plenty hot enough to kill you quickly at ground level. Having been on many fires and prescribed burns, the radiant heat will burn you regardless. It would have to be a large bare area for one to not get burned. A suggestion might be, wear nomex clothing if you're unsure...

I would not recommend the wet clothing. The heat generated by a forest fire can well exceed 2000 degrees F. Steam burns would certainly prevail. A ditch, or low lying area would preferable if no water is available to submerge in. Your vehicle is also an option. While it will certainly be...

Hmmmmm !!!!!! THIS is certainly NOT what you originally posted. Don't let anything but fear and common sense stop you.

Thank you Thank you for a great video. They are awesome machines !!!!

Hypocrite BOYD....don't know who you are, and quite simply don't care. But to chastise me for my opinions after stating that EVERYONE has the right "to disagree" is hypocritical, especially from such an "open-minded" person such as yourself. Then you have the audacity to call me a "troll"...

Awesome Picture GREAT PICTURE........Oh that's right, I offended someone because I typed in CAPS....TS...hahaha. Anyway, This is an awesome photo. I've had the honoe of being about 100' away from them when they strafe the bombing range. To see those 20mm cannons hit a tank and lift it off...

I'm bbbaaaaccccckkkkk !!!!! Ah, to be 29 and know everything !!!!!! Maybe someone should put a muzzle on you, because you OBVIOUSLY have no idea what you are talking about. The Air Guard has been on the range for over 63 years. While it is true that on occassion they have mishaps that...

Wow !!! Well, Al, not ONCE have I resorted to profanity, but it's okay. I'd rather be the A**hole than the WHOLE ASS. Remember....if the a**hole shuts down, the body shuts down, so I would suppose that the a**hole is an impotant thing. r

Thanks MY, MY, This certainly caught me off guard. Thank you for the kind words, however I don't believe that my wife would be too appreciative. I may be alot of things, but a cheater is not one of them. Good luck with the firefighter of your dreams, when you find him !!!

Anytime ANYTIME you think you are man enough to squeeze my head, I'll be happy to oblige. AND, I serously doubt that this individual would leave my head reeling, as you stated, as to where I might be in the Pines. I know 'em like the back of my hand, and have spent thousands of hours...

Curious I am not trying to be confrontational. I just do not understand your point of view. Why is this wrong-headed and/or stupid??? These firebreaks are very instrumental during prescribed burning, and the roads make for quick access for early intervention during a wildland fire. I...
