Local grass fire response
My WatchDuty app notified me of a grass fire in my neighborhood. Checking the map I saw it was little more than a mile away. Jumping on my bike I rode to a hill with a view and snapped the following photos.
A few fire crew persons approaching the fire.
Air controller circles overhead to direct the air attack.
Helicopter making a water drop.
A large crew has gathered to attack the fire.
A dozer has arrived and the helicopter makes a final pass.
The fire was named the Pouch fire (as it was near Mail Pouch Lane) and was limited to 19 acres, and because of the prompt response no structures were damaged. Many thanks to our local firefighters for protecting our neighborhood.
