Good news, maybe since the fire looks really good they didn’t perform the outage.

Troops mopped up all night. A good day of mop up today and that should put it to bed. Going to be another hot one today. We have a young workforce here in TCU. Again, they did an outstanding from DC, BC down to the FF’s. Air Force and Dozers included. Kudos to the WT guys who always show up and support the B engines. Also those local gov engines that take up the slack when 3/4 of the unit is IA.
