This is what dozer operators see when fighting wildfire in Florida. This is on the "Corbett Fire" in Florida.

Good Video!

Those guys take a beating, like riding a bucking bull for 4-5 hours at a time, or more. The smoke really sucks and wears on you after a while.

Plus they're way under paid......

And soon to be even more, I know guys that it cost them money to go fight wildfires. You can thank Rick Scott for the dwindling amount of guys willing to take that beating.

Yep, $83 hole in my paycheck this week  The new FRS fee.

Meanwhile, our State Retirement Fund had it's best year ever and would be self sustaining if they weren't skimming it for the General fund.

The only bright spot id that the Forestry Guys won't get hit as hard since they barely make anything to start with.

That's what pisses me off the most! The state retirement fund has outperformed every system from every state. It is very solvent and very well run. Every Politician out there is dying to get their hands on it.
