The Douglas County Taskforce was originally assigned to patrol the county line for spot fires. They approached the fire which had no ground or air resources assigned and started structure protection. When they requested assistance, they discovered there was none available and they were forced to retreat back to Douglas County.
Here is a photo of the Taskforce retreating back out of the extreme fire behavior 1.5 miles to the east.
