Fire Information Officer Jessica Mack goes over some of the details…
“Due to the coordination between our fire fighters, aerial support and heavy equipment, that the burn went as planned. Firefighters worked throughout the night to patrol the guards for any potential smokes, just to ensure that they didn’t go past the guard that we have in place.”

Fire Information Offier Jessica Mack says the controlled burn is being done with a helicopter and some hand ignition.
“The goal of this is just to remove any available fuel between the fire’s edge and the fuel free guard that was built by heavy equipment. This will allow us to slow down and help limit any spread of the wildfire by decreasing the amount of fire perimeter that we have to manage.”
Mack says in preparation for this operation ground personnel were able to lay hose all around the fire to ensure that there is water available to extinguish any smoke or flames.
