The Air Drop August 3, 2005

We believe the fire started late in the evening of August 2 after some

thunderstorms rolled through our area.

The morning of August 3 one of our kids noticed smoke coming up

from over the hill and adults investigated.

The fire was reported and monitored immediately.

By 1:00 p.m. a PC-7 spotter plane and DC-9 Tanker

and a helicopter were buzzing the fire for several hours that day.

Thanks to the first HOT SHOT crews that came in after the retardant drops!

Sorry, no pictures of them.
