fires

I guess research is important. I visited the local fire department and talked to the men there about the fire scene in the book. It was a rainy day and they were glad for the unusual request. "How would someone in a chariot put out a wild fire." they said that much about fire control hasn't changed over the centuries. In sharing what my idea was, they said the only thing I was missing was dirt. With that information and after watching a show on Smokejumpers on TV I sat down and reworked the chapter. Will send to Tom for edit and then to critique group on wednesday. Things are moving again. Got a fire under my seat! --Jon
