Florida Fires Find Formidable Foe In Family

My cousin Dave Turner loves his job with the Florida Fish And Wildlife Conservation Commission. His usual duties involve chasing down wandering gators and bears, believe it or not. Dave’s droll sense of humor usually earns him lots of airtime after the critter emergency is over.

Anyway, his team was recruited to help fight May’s recent wildfires in north Florida. He spent sixteen tiring days in the brutal heat helping to prevent flare ups from reoccurring. His bosses liked his work so much they made him the star of a video showcasing his team’s efforts.

Check out Dave’s description of a typical day at the office: (high res.) (med res.) (low res.). (Those beads of sweat are authentic, folks.)
