Assumption of Risk

The road to hell was paved with good intentions, if you don’t communicate your plan with personnel in the area it can cost someone greatly as has been stated and if you couldn’t communicate with line personnel in first place you shouldn’t have been out there. On the oakwood fire a few years back AA unit spotted a CALFIRE engine firing off a dirt road who hadn’t notified anyone, another engine had find them and to get them to stop.

On the creek fire the lakeshore resort owner took it upon himself to “borrow” a huntington lake volly engine and got arrested later claiming he told them what he was doing but no one could verify him telling anyone with the department.
