popeyefireman 0 #1 April 10, 2003 I went back to yuma to visit the folks and they had a story waiting for me. Now it relates in two ways. First, I use to work for the wildland fire team in yuma. Second, this wildland fire was started be a skydiver. Now my parent are pretty up on the news, but then agian it came from the news. If you can correct it with hard core fact, i would love to know if the story is true the way I heard it. So hear it goes. GK train in yuma, as I am sure you all know. Well I guess on one of there practice jumps one of the smoke canisters came loose and started a wildland fire. Because of Yumas natural dryness, and the fact this is one of the dryest winters we have had, it took out 1000 acres before being contained. I am just wondering if anyone else heard it. I didn't see the yuma news for my self. I do trust my parents, I don't trust the news. Ring in and let me know. Adam "I Yam what I Yam" I am not afriad to die, only to die without living.
