The 45 firefighters from Australia and New Zealand finished their orientation on Thursday in Boise and traveled to Redding, California where they will be assigned to three incidents in Northern California. In addition to getting used to USA fire jargon and practices, they have to deal with jet lag. As one of them said:
On a side note, nearly everyone has got through the jet lag and are sleeping most of the night. It takes a few days to be able to sleep past 3am. The problem is that the sun stays up past 930 pm and it is daylight until after 10 pm so it is easy to loose track of time in the evening.
