• After Action Report
o State Rock Pit Fire
Forest Service was on scene when we arrived and they assumed command.
The Forest Service focused on the grass on fire and we attacked the burn pile in the rock pit.
Cause of the fire is unknown, but is suspected to be from material that an unknown individual dumped off a couple hours prior.
The State had an excavator up above that they used to tear the pile apart with as we sprayed down all the material extinguishing everything.
A thing to remember on fires that occur on State ground the State Fire Marshal must be contacted.
o Dewey Saddle Tractor Fire
A local farmer was notified of the fire and he knocked down the majority of the fire prior to us getting on scene.
Suspected cause of the fire is electrical originating from the steering collum.
For fires in the Golden Hills Subdivision area there are two 1,250 gallon above ground tanks right next to the road for fire suppression use.
