Well, it wasn't long after I received my SL PP 4AA and L1P that I really needed them. We had power outages across our city yesterday and today due to wildfires. In our county we lost 35 homes, 18 mobile homes, 1 church and countless outbuildings, all due to nitwits shooting roman candles from the back up a pickup truck into dry grass (intentional). We've had about 1/4 inch of rain in the last 120 days so everything was very dry and winds were from the NW at 30mph. One fireman is critical and several others injured.

SEND RAIN :sweat:

Sorry to hear about the plight of the people in your are BigTwin, and of that fireman. Hope all will turn out okay with him.

At least you've gotten the chance to use your flashlights and see how they perform. . .

I just saw a news flash stating that people are now able to return to their homes. Be safe out there!

We've got plenty here in Oregon, I'll send all I can!

Hope the idiotic <deleted expletive roughly translated as "feces">s who started the fire are found and punished accordingly, if they haven't been already.

Cheers. :buddies:
