That is a relief! Loosing structures is never fun. Especially if they belong to you or your family. :-S So the boy is stuck on a tender, eh? Working Slide Creek (my first project fire) I could not understand how the water guys didn't go crazy. Of course I am the kind of person who has the be there right against the line, getting absolutely filthy while trying to kill fire with a shovel. (Yes, sometimes I do question my sanity.)
Anyhow, glad to hear things are being brought under control down there.
