Tom's Summer Vacation:Tom's Summer Vacation
This summer my brother Tom fished with his uncle David, his friend Nathan, and other people who asked him. This summer there was a fire fighting step test that he took and passed by one point Tom patiently waited until there was a fire somewhere in Alaska His first job was between St. Mary's and Stebbins. They were closer to St Mary's than Stebbins. He told me how he fought the fire with burlap, water, and a certain kind of tool called a polaski. He said they traveled miles and miles to put the fire out. After a lot of hard work they all finally got the fire out They lived on m.r.e.'s (meals ready to eat) and water or juice. He said the trip was fun. After he came back I asked him a lot of questions. It sounded hard the way he told it to me but it wasn't that hard at all for him. His second job was in Takotna and McGrath. I was
home when he took off late that evening with his crew. They left
around 1:00 in the morning. They took off in one of those small cargo
planes that looked like an army plane. They stayed up in the Central
part of the state for about two and a half weeks. Interviewed By: Marlene Papp ![]() | |
