Thanks for the nice comments.
After driving and hiking two days in the Yellowstone Park, we went south to the Grand Teton NP and to Jackson Hole/Wyoming. As we arrived in Jackson Hole, the whole valley was filled with smoke, a result of a large brush-fire (Horsethief Canyon Fire). Fire crews from Wyoming,Montana, Idaho, Utah, and Nevada were on scene, along with the BLM, USFS and private contractors.
Here a Sky-Crane is tanking the retardant.

I had to cancel my original plans to visit the Jackson Hole and Teton Village Fire Departments, as both departments were totally involved in the brush-fire. So I went to the Jackson Hole International Airport. The crew from the Fire Department was extremely nice and pulled the trucks out.
