Entry - August 6, 1936

8.00 P.M. Hooray! It rained hard last night and we didn’t have to go on the fire. They just sent out five smoke chasers this morning to look things over and they reported everything satisfactory and under control.

Comments from Chris

That is a relief. Can you imagine what the guys were like when they started to hear the rain fall. You could probably hear some Hooray's in those tents.

I get the impression smoke chaser is kind of an older term. I looked to see if there was anything special about that term compared to a fire fighter, but there weren't many results.
