did the trick (thus goes my magical thinking). The Firefighter is on the Pagami Creek fire in Minnesota. They arrived last night and are hanging around today, figuring out their role in this fire. Today's update from Inciweb:
Containment of the Pagami Creek Fire is at 23%. With a half inch of rain
in the forecast for today and tomorrow, the fire is expected to creep
and smolder. Twenty-eight states are represented by incident personnel.
