That such a pretty area. Did a lot of project work with my crew(OVY) planting trees(pine) and putting vexar tubing around the trees to keep the rabbits from eating on them. I hope the can catch this tonight. Wind can really blow across that area.

out of Columbia in the mix of air assets.

82 and 83 got diverted to the TCU incident unsure if there back yet. Sounds like MMU is forming up a Charlie at station 12, assigned to this incident.

WD put this fire inactive. If that the case and fire is in mop up stage. Great Job Folks!!!
Hats off to the Air and Ground and everyone in between for keeping this area beautiful and not looking like a bunch of burnt match sticks when you drive down or up 395.
