You may not be able to answer this, but with a reported brush fire why such a delay in getting a wildland response?
Around here a reported fire (car, structure etc) with just a threat of wildland will get a full wildland response in addition to the appropriate response to handle the reported call.
I think your photos demonstrate quite well why we do that.

With Colorado's wildfire history I was surprised to see so much structural firefighting gear on a fire this size. I thought maybe the time of season / green grass had lulled the initial response.
Thanks for your answer, sounds like an individual department issue rather than a larger mindset.
Earlier in my career I've had the misfortune to fight some brush fires in structural turnout gear, talk about the wrong tool for the job. Pretty miserable even on a small grass fire.
