Anyone have any experiences they'd like to share on the life of an air attack pilot for fire fighting? Seeing the guys battle it out in California makes one wonder what that's all about!

I've done a search, but didn't come up with much. Looking on pay, QOL, etc. Probably takes the same kind of mindset to fly up in Alaska, I'm guessing. I do know it's contract work, and that means it varies greatly from contractor to contractor.

Thanks!
