Canadian forest fires in Alberta and Saskatchewan are sending smoke to us, hundreds of miles away. The air pollution index is 159, which is unhealthy for some groups. The far side of Lake Sinai was barely visible from a distance of a mile and a half. This is the heaviest forest fire smoke that I have witnessed. It's very sad to think of the implications of such fire.
When I was stationed at Camp Pendleton, CA., some Marines from our Battalion were dispatched to fight grass fires on the base. The Camp is over 125,000 acres so a fire in one area usually doesn't effect many other parts of the base. No, I wasn't dispatched for this duty.
Takk for alt,
