That burnout tomorrow is above the section of 36 I was concerned with them holding a few days ago and getting into the Salt Creek drainage. They appear to be using a FS road above the hwy so I am feeling good but it is something to watch. Outstanding! These guys rock! Looks like the kids get to see their entries in the fair!
Thanks Ms. Kemp!!!! You rock too! Outstanding!
Credit Lauren. Nice work she did!
Seen it first hand having staff overnight on the dozer/fire lines makes a HUGE difference. And a HUGE THANK YOU to R-Wild Horse ranch for hosting the fire camp again. I know it sucks for members but it for the good of the community.
