Western Ridge Hazard Reduction

The weather being benign, National Parks took an opportunity to burn the south side of Woodford which had not seen any fire since the Mount Hall fire in 2001-2002. Being the only available member in my brigade, I ended crewing on Lawson 7.

After the briefing we drove along the Woodford Oaks fire trail and the St Helena Ridge Trail where our section was. The burn went without a hitch! We did have a small slopover due to the helicopter fanning the flames across the trail but we got on top of it very quickly!

A great day with a great crew!
