re: #84 Cheechako
Unfortunately the cell towers the fire fighters install are only temporary. They’re called “COWS” (Cells On Wheels”). I’ve worked in the Commo Units fot wild-land fires for many years.
There’s a tiny town 60 miles from here that got a permanent upgrade. It was a HUGE fire two years ago, and they expected major flooding afterwards (which didn’t come until the following year).
Thanks for your fire-fighting service. That’s been your career, right? And you keep the other guys safe. Such hazardous work! A friend of mine is an EMT for the Forest Service.
