My daughter is a Wildland Fire Fighter for DNR (Dept. of Nat.

She was back home, in Ellensburg, when she called, and mentioned that she wrecked her cell phone- it got wet when she was wading in an irrigation canal. After the conversation, wife and I put two and two together, and figure she called so we could hear her voice and know she was OK, because when we turned on the news, we found out there were two firefighters injured in that fire that day. We're also wondering if they had a flare-up and had to run for it- why else would they be going through an irrigation canal? Its a dangerous business, but she loves it. Mom's and my hair just gets grayer.
