Response video from one of the buffs in the area. Shows the unique conditions with fires on that face of the mountains of Mojave. Plus some extra resources from across the country in the area assisting. I believe the red apparatus is from New Jersey. Some of the KRV pages have mention the red trucks with roll cages.
