The prairie grass around our little community has
be victim of what may be the largest fire in state
history . . . burning 400K plus acres, some houses,
livestock and $millions$ in fences.

We've been sidetracked with attention to EMS services
and logistics support for 250 or so fire fighters from
all over the state. Part of my activities over the
last week included bringing wet towels home to run
through our own laundry before the next crew came into
the old high school gym for a shower and sleep.

Here's a peek into what's been going on around here . . .

My city of Medicine Lodge was never in danger but
a lot of communities around us were . . . along
with dozens of rural residences and their businesses.

The nation is responding in amazing ways . . . we're
getting donations of hay for cattle from as far away
as Houston and Northern Minn. Met some people today
who packed up donations in their minivan and drove
three hours to unload contributions at the local
assistance staging center. One rancher 3 hours
northwest of here volunteered to come get herds of cattle
at his expense and transport them to his pastures until
the 'homeland' could be restored.

My EMS radio scans local fire and law enforcement
frequencies so I've been able to maintain something of
a bird's eye view things as they unfold and I'm
amazed. I'm listening to crews struggling over some
exceedingly unfriendly terrain . . .



making sure this fire is COLD . . . crews from all over
the state. It may be another week or so before we're back
on the normal track . . . our EMS teacher canceled classes
due to his own commitments to fire fighting in the
county to the west.

The best thing is that nobody has been seriously
hurt. Did one ambulance run out to the Gyp Hills
Wednesday to assist a firefighter with breathing
difficulty . . . by the time we got out there he
had walked off. I'm presuming he is okay. Wish
all our calls could resolve so simply!
