I drove fire engines for a while before I actually made it to Engineer. One night we went to a nice canyon fire. It was winter time and it was cold, and it was probably about two or three in the morning. I pulled up next to this burning area where the brush was on fire. The guys pulled their lines off and were going to hit the area right next to the rig. I told them to leave that one burning and go down to put out the rest, and that I would pull a line out and take care of the fire next to the rig. They agreed and they went down the canyon to start working the perimeter of the fire, but I just let the stuff by the rig burn to keep me warm while they were down fighting the rest of the fire. 

When we were about ready to pick up and go home, I finally pulled a small line off the rig and put the fire out. But that was neat, using the little fire to stay warm while everyone else was cold while they worked on that brush fire.
