Caddo/LBJ Grasslands, Texas

Been living out west for a few years now in R4 to chase this job, but just saw an opening outside my home city of Fort Worth in Decatur, TX. Never would’ve imagined that I would have the opportunity to be home close to family and still be a WFF for the USFS. I of course plan to give the folks out there a call, but would anyone happen to have any personal insight on the duty station? What is the culture like? Is everyone a 26-0? Are there any type 3/4 engines, or are they all type 6? Are the overhead good, supportive people to work for? How is the work-life balance? The last one being very important to me since I have a wife and child. Thanks y’all!
