Every fall, the state of California declares the official end of the fire season. Sometimes the fires don't get the message. Joe Mackey, a seasonal firefighter for CalFire, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, got a call Oct. 12 telling him he wouldn't be needed any more this year."They told me I'm getting laid off. Turn my gear in the next day," Mackey said. "They didn't really give me any notice." On Tuesday, with fires threatening thousands of homes, the state backtracked, declaring the obvious: The fire season is back on. Source : MSNBC News
