Route Complex Burn Preperation

On this day the objective was to prepare for a burn operation. The pictures below show some of the process.
The first thing we did was to have a briefing to receive assignments. As you can see there are a lot of people involved. 
So they assign the Willamette Engine crew to light the fire and to support the line. Others were assigned to patrol the line to make sure that the fire didn't jump our line. Our assignment was to prepare the line with foam. There was a large slash pile they didn't want to burn.

Foaming




My guys ran the foam line soaking it down before they light the fire.Later we had another engine join us to help prepping the line.
On my next post I will show the burn process. And yes you will see some fire.
