I like the one on the 4th pic, it looks like an RC crawler

I'm with Swami on this one - those are some really cool looking machines - where are the rod holders? - -john

There's a bit of controlled-burn pyromania in many of the fire people I've known.

Beautiful snake but he does look annoyed

Never actually seen one look cheerful. That would be weird.

Must be totally weird taking preemptive measures for you and your team PJ!

Snake would have made a great hat band!

We burned at Loxahatchee NWR (https://www.fws.gov/refuge/arthur-r-marshall-loxahatchee) today to try to restore some duck habitat. The area is surrounded by ditches and ag fields everywhere so before everyone arrived I fished the ditches and was rewarded with 2 big 3' long snakeheads! They're very aggressive and fight hard. Gonna try to catch a few more tomorrow morning before we head to Cape Canaveral to burn for the next 5 days. Fish and fire pics

Spent the last few days burning at Cape Canaveral Space Force in Titusville with the Air Force Fire Crew. It was a fun couple days

Nothing biting in mosquito lagoon? Well, besides the obvious.

We fished the IRL and caught mostly ladyfish

Great reports PJ. Please keep 'em coming.

We did a 1800 acre burn at Merritt Island NWR right next to Cape Canaveral National Seashore yesterday. It was a restoration burn for spartina grass and coastal scrub. In order to get it to burn properly you have to head fire it so the burn was exciting at times. This was the last burn I'll do before I fly home on Sunday. My boss here gave me the next 2 days off to try to get a little more fishing in and to see some friends so that's nice.
