Well, we just got off of the Rocky Mountain fire Southeast of Battle Mountain, NV. We spent three days on the fire and got demobilized today. We showed up Monday afternoon and spent the rest of the day setting up a helibase and supporting the helicopter's bucket work. The next two days we were out on the line cold trailing the fire edge and suppressing hot spots. I got some good hours and had fun doing it. I think the fire ended up being about 380 acres in pinyon pine/juniper and sagebrush. We are now being staged at the Battle Mountain airport, which means a hotel room and a shower tonight. Tomorrow we've got a red-flag warning and July 4th, so who knows what'll happen.
