I am not saying that the Trackers would be what we would convert today but unless Conair, Civile and Securite and Calfire have been wasting their money and time with them over the last 40 years they seem to have been a good platform.
As far as volunteers coming off the fire front and then working, that seems to be the story that I'm hearing from my locals. How else do you run your business when you have contract and job obligations? The bank doesn't just cancel your mortgage for the fire season?
