Bruce Vaughn, who runs our Stable Isotope Lab at INSTAAR, is also a volunteer firefighter with the Four Mile Fire Protection District, in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains just west of Boulder. #INSTAARsafterhours 
He spent the weekend at the fire station on alert, monitoring and helping to coordinate Four Mile resources, as fires throughout Colorado including the East Troublesome and CalWood fires blew up.
“There’s nothing like a fire to motivate volunteers,” he said. 22 years ago a bunch of volunteers from the District put out a fire close to Bruce’s mountain home. “I took down a couple coolers of sodas and asked if they needed help.” He’s been a volunteer firefighter ever since.
