Dispatches from the fire lines in New Mexico

I arrived at the Hermits Peak/Calf Canyon fires in North Central New Mexico on May 24 to relieve Ron Granger, owner and operator of Leviathan Inc., a type 1 water tender contracted with the Forest Service. A type 1 water tender is the largest type of water tender used by the Forest Service on wild land fires.
