PHOTO: He's not from Utah, but his job is to protect the state. In this week's Behind the Badge story, Don Hudson introduces us to a Utah wildland firefighter whose story really begins more than seven thousand miles away. "It's very hard." Musa Abdallah is talking about living in a refugee camp in Egypt. DON: What was life like there? MUSA: "You don't know where you're going to be. You don't know what is going to happen tomorrow." After spending two years there, he got a plane for the first time in his life. "I didn't get to sleep cause I was scared." Then he saw snow for the first time when he landed in Utah in December 2013. DON: What was it like the first time you touched the snow? MUSA: "It's scary. It's cold and its water. Kind of weird."
