More Helicopters
Day 21 of the fires and once again I was down in Redway with a crew from Ferndale to provide crash rescue support for the helibase. The second time it was a bit easier because we knew what to expect, and even though the helicopter count went up to 12, there weren’t as many flights. The two fires are still growing, Honeydew is at 11,000 acres and the Canoe fire is approaching 10,000 acres. The Honeydew fire is contained on the west flank, as the Pacific Ocean is doing a great job there for us. At the end of the day we could hear on the radio that supplies where being unloaded at the Women’s Garden Club Grove which is on the Avenue of the Giants. Not a good sign.
