So sorry to hear that I had the privilege of being one of his FF for 2013-2014 his last 2 seasons before retirement he was an amazing person and mentor in the short time I worked there.
Nothing like being the last engine around to still run cotton jacket rubber lined hose!

Someone mentioned hose modules in the park q&d and I remembered the answer Mark gave me when i asked him about the source point fire above cascadel woods " 4000 feet of hose from whiskey ridge to the fire then had to hike it the f–k out, that made my knees hurt just then".

His son finally got ahold of me and now they’re setting his wife with wood for the winter and getting marks wood truck and splitter out of our meadow. I look at that truck and cry, it’s been there for so many years and now it’s going to be delivering it’s last load of wood .
