Hi, I'm Independentgeoscience and a huge fan of geology and paleontology. I work as a wildland firefighter during summers, and I contribute to Wikiproject Wildfire.

About

I primarily work on fatality fires because I want to help others to learn what happened in full, honest detail. I owe much of my sourcing and information to John N. Maclean and his father, Norman Maclean, who wrote the books that inspire me to expand Wikipedia articles.

Handcrew (B) - Added much more information regarding crew structure, life, and operations on incidents.

I have contributed to the following:

Wildland fire module (WFM) (C) - Updated qualifications and added more info.

Repair list:

Wildfire suppression - This article is incredibly poor and requires a complete overhaul and restructuring category wise.
