This is why more training is needed for fight forest fires. I've got a lot of respect for volunteer firefighters, but so many of them are under trained and they smell smoke and get all excited.. But to get the proper training it requires having strong leadership.. BSL is lucky they didn't loose a couple of fire fighters. When a blowup occurs, it can be on a fire team before they know it.. A lot of these local Volunteer Fire Departments need to work with the NC Forest Service on wildland fire training..
