Poison Ivy! That's the song I was singing at the top of the Pennycliffs Fire many years ago. The highway runs right by the bottom of the Pennycliffs and the river. Somebody had climbed up to the top of the cliffs and carelessly smoked a joint or something, and a small wildfire ensued right at the top. We climbed up to it to work on the fire, and had fun looking out over the cliff at a helicopter dropping water below us on a small tree that had caught fire half way up the cliff. The fire never got very big, but there was no way we could have gotten to that tree. Anyway, there was a patch of poison oak in the fire, and I unfortunately got in the smoke from burning poison oak. I didn't notice anything until I got home, but I lost two days of work because of it. My only lost time accident in 37 years of field service. The accident report concluded: "Employee should be counseled to stay away from poison oak."
