Back in the day (mid 1980’s) when CDF VMP was quite active statewide.We were told that if you couldn’t control your VMP with the ground resources, then Stop and shut it Down! Never had any escapes…

It seemed like were moving to quick on the north side of the burn because once they hit heavier fuels fire in that section seemed to flank the previous area they just lit. Glad it’s over and done.

To my understanding from what it sounded like they picked the slops up pretty quickly

It didn’t take them very long, I don’t even think it took an hour total to contain both.
