Aurora, CO Brush Fire 5/2/14

[Aaronw]

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.
