Spending nearly tw o weeks in a
forest fire camp can be somewhat in
tcresting Spending nearly two weeks
in a garbage truck in a fire camp is
more like a study o f frustration Com
plex fire broke out on the Malheur Na
tional Forest. I had been asked to take
one o f the garbage trucks belonging to
long time fishing and hunting buddy
Calvin Clark up to the fire camps to
relieve them o f the mountains o f refuse
normally generated by such natural
disasters It seemed Cal had been call
cd to run a Cal on the fire at the fire
camp
Now, in the wee hours o f the morning 13 days later, here I remain
scribbling on a coffee stained notebook, trying to crank out yet another
column from the confines o f my smelly deli wagon as a yawning young
camp crew delivers endless bundles o f trash from a ».amp that never sleeps
During the first few days the action and excitement was non stop From
where we sat at Reynolds camp, on the back side o f the blaze. frequent
‘ ‘ blow-ups’ ’ on the ridge just above camp were clearly visible and equal
ly riveting as flames erupted over 100 feet into the air
As this is being w ritten, the (lames have all but died out. and crews are
busy mopping up and cutting fire lines around unburned tracts o f timber
within the Little Baldy fire 's 9.230 acre perimeter My rolling refuse run
ner and me have since been reassigned to base camp at Summit Prairie
A ll that's left o f Reynolds Camp now are a lew scattered wood chips (put
there to control the dust) which w ill later be mixed with concentrations
o f nitrogen and disked into the soil
The speed with which Reynolds Camp both went up and came down
can only he described as the epitome o f modern camping procedures
Bishop Services, the food caterers there, were especially impressive
Thanks to these innovative folks I was witness to one o f the quickest and
most efficient ways o f erecting a large wall tent I've ever seen In truth. 1
their method differs little from my own except they do it in the daylight
an interesting twist I have never attempted
The food, commensurate with that o f the finest restaurants (at least the
finest restaurant a w riter can afford), was prepared in an 35 to 40-foot
semi trailer and served cafeteria style from a 30 toot trailer with windows
running the length o f one side Another 40-foot trailer provides storage
and dish washing facilities, while several other 4 0 to 50-fix it "re fe rs " kept
foodstuffs fresh So impressed was 1 with this setup that I immediately
began considering ways to lash sim ilar facilities to Decker pack saddles
so as to be afforded such comforts in elk camp
When it came time for Reynolds camp to break up, or "d e m o b iliz e ,"
at least eight huge tents, the entire kitchen unit, the showers, the opera
lions and ground support offices, dozens o f portable toilets and septic lac ill
jty and one large white garbage truck was packed up and reads to m il by
about 12 00 which, by m ilitary time is still 12 00 (after noon, however
| it starts getting tricky).
Here at base camp, a somewhat larger facility which should also be win
ding down w ithin the next few days (probably be history by the time you
read this) all is (airly quiet From this position on the mountain, not one
wisp o f smoke can be seen o f the still-sm oldering fire complex that
employed over 1200 people, nine engines, eight water tenders, five dozers,
four french hens, three helicopters, two air tankers and one large white-
garbage scow In these remaining days I am content with enjoying delicious
food, compacting and hauling staggering amounts o f trash and keeping
a daily count o f the number o f people who trip over tent ropes
And who knows, perhaps next week we’ ll be back to the business of
hunting and fish MU.__________________________________________________ |
