Anyone flying on the fires in California?

I see a group of Australian and New Zealand Firefighters are heading over.

I wasn't in the air but I just got back from a 18 day stint in NorCal being a ground pounder on an engine. Heading back out in the next week it looks like after we get the units some much needed maintenence and ourselves as well.
