Aspen Fire Sierra National Forest July 2013

[Aaronw]

A common issue with forest fires, narrow dirt roads. A water tender is passing a Type 3 engine from the North West Fire Department (Tucson, AZ).

 

There were at least two rainbow strike teams of engines from Arizona assigned to the fire. A "rainbow" strike team is one made up from multiple agencies (often with a variety of engine colors, red, green, yellow leading to the name).
