Members of the honor society for the Boy Scouts of America who had to change their service project plans in Wyoming when the U.S. Forest Service instead allowed the Rainbow Family hippie group to use a location the Scouts had sought now are helping the federal agency fight a forest fire in the state.
According to a report in the Casper Star-Tribune the Scouts, some of an estimated 1,000 members of the Order of the Arrow in the state, have "stepped in" to help firefighters in the Bridger-Teton National Forest fight the New Fork Lakes fire, about 19 miles north of Pinedale.
The blaze started when a campfire got out of control and, during the course of about eight hours earlier this week, grew from 40 to 1,500 acres.
The Scouts are staffing the supply line that provides materials and services to firefighters, officials said. Firefighters also have established a command post at the Scouts' camp.
"It is a great help to have the extra hands," fire cache manager Heidi Zardus told the newspaper. "They are helping me get the orders filled and the supplies shipped out in record time."

Ray should be fired. Then sent to restore what the Rainbow group only cleaned up. I figure working by himself, he might be done by 2012.

I wonder if someone from the Raibow Family didn’t start the campfire that got out of control. A person can do some pretty stupid things if high.
Wonder how many Rainbow Family members could put down the bongs long enough to pitch in and help?
Are you kidding me. The Rainbow Family IS fighting the fire. I just know that they are responsible type and are doing the right thing. After all, isn’t that what being a hippy is all about?
NAW! I’m just joking. The are probably in the woods, stubling around stoned, and getting in the way.
They're on the way to Denver. Gonna take 'em a while, though. Takes time to thumb it when the micro-bus melts down.
Hmmmm....I remember this. Wonder if it was the same ones here?
