The guys out there on the lines deserve just as much respect as any other American hero. Its not just crews from CA, but also Nevada, Arizona, colorado, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Wyoming, and Utah. Some of teh guys have been away from home for months. 20 hour days, sleeping in the dirt, and no showers or restrooms for weeks at a time. Sounds like patrol in the gulf. They may not be fighting an international enemy, but they are fighting to protect the people and property of those of us in California. Again they deserve the utmost respect.

I think I just teared up a little:scared_12
