bored Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 They have been out here several times today. You will see in an earlier post that there were no flames seen when they came out. Hopefully this is a false alarm. Link to post Share on other sites

bored Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 What does GFC stand for? We road by there and there is a lot of smoke but still did not see any flames. This has been going on all day. Link to post Share on other sites

FreeBird Posted September 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 GFC is brought in for brush and forrest fires. They use a small dozer that cuts a break around the fire to help contain it. I have seen one of the drivers in action and he was fearless talking the equipment up and down 30-40 degree mountain sides to cut the break. Link to post Share on other sites

I did see the tractor parked on the side of the road. Link to post Share on other sites
bored Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 It's almost 8 and the smoke is heavy. No flames thankfully but the old saying is where theres smoke, there's fire. I hope that they have it contained. Link to post Share on other sites
