There is a ton of Fire History in Hunters Valley. There are still a few working in MMU that know the history
and are familiar with fire in that area. Some of the local retired DC and BC and FC have punched a lot of line in that area. Some of their input could go along way. Also the cattle ranchers are another.

Couple of spot fires in Div S on the Hunters Valley side. 1/2 acre each. Dozers working them. Air tankers called back and working them. “If they get established we need to let the dozers and crews up above know so they can get out.” “Getting everyone turned around right now”. T137 headed back in as well.
