I would like to be a member so that I may have a resource to learn techniques and perhaps someday even contribute some new information.
Hi Brandon,
Welcome to the metal gang.

Thank you for fighting the fires.
Santa Rosa was horrific - saw images of one home intact with fire having passed by - and 20 sec. later - gone completely. ..... Completely.
Super-heat + 80mph winds = Whoomff.
