An aerial view of a smoke

2025-08-23 - Great Wooded South - Photo by Billy Joe Fudge
Billy Joe says, "A Great Wooded South smoke similar to many thousands I found, sized up, and often ended up working on during the night after fire patrol ended. A Forest Ranger's day was often long and unrelenting! The longest I ever worked continuously was 43 hours. It was against policy then as it still is today but a good soldier finishes the job!"
