Granite Ridge fire.
NOVEMBER
November 15-18
-- slash pile burn -- The weather cooperated early this year and the
fire department was able to burn the slash pile. Department
members watched the burn for three days to ensure the fire did not
spread. The area will remain too hot for additional slash to be
added for three or more weeks.
November 16, midnight
-- fire call at the slash pile -- Department members responded the
Tender to the slash pile because the wind was picking up and blowing
sparks around. After watching the burn for a while, the Tender
crew sprayed more than 1500 gallons of water on the hillside downwind
of the fire and returned the Tender to the station. Temperatures
were too cold to safely keep the equipment outside and the additional
moisture was considered sufficient to prevent any sparks from catching.
Additional department members remained to monitor the situation.
DECEMBER
Congratulations! December was a quiet month, and CLVFD
responded to no incidents.
