You must be new at this........go borrow your local crazy ladies crystal ball. Then go look in the mirror and see someone who has no idea what the F they're doing.

Type 2 modified CWN/Excl bids are due on Monday I believe, prob going to be a couple weeks for awards. As far as predicting what kind of season it's going to be....anybodies guess. I'd say slow start due to good precip in most places but running later. Of course if it gets hot in Cali it won't take long to dry some of the fuels. And never under estimate the FS doing burns that get out of hand....

For us HAA guys dreaming about working utility someday, can someone explain the system of 'Types'? What is Type 2 and what other 'types' are there?
