CPS is so simple and critical for a basic understanding of fire behavior. Thank you Doug for you innovation.

Got to spend time with him driving him around on the Aguanga fire in 84, my first season. Was like having a portable classroom for 10 days. Learned so much that a 40 hr would not even be in the same breath as training. He truly believed in the CPS and showed it worked every day. A true pioneer in Wildland Firefighting.

Doug and I were long term friends. He was one who performed his job with enthusiasm. He did a lot to advance ideas about safe aggressive wild land firefighting tactics. He will be missed. The LPF had a good man when he was the FMO on the Chuchupate District.
