The weather has been nothing short of amazing, however all this great weather does have a downfall. Right now in B.C. there are over 119 wild fires burning in the province. Pilar is one of those people on the front line, or you could say hanging by a line. She works for Rapattack, which is a small crew that uses helicopters to rappel into remote areas to attack the fires that have been started by lightning. They are usually first on the scene and either contain the fire immediately or prep the area so the helicopters can bring in extra crews and equipment. I haven't seen Pilar in a while because she has been out saving the forest, but I know come winter time I am sure I will run into her on a chair somewhere.

Thanks Pilar
