Fire(1) vs. Northern CO(0). Well so much for the fish. 2000+ acres burned over night. The Pilot fire transitioned to a type 3 incident. Two hotshot crews, two hand crews, two helicopters, two small planes and two large planes arrive early in the day. One large home is now in danger as well as the holding pond for the remaining fish. Most of the fish habitat is nuked. Our goal for the day is to save what habitat is left by digging 30+ chains of line with Northern UT. Then set a backfire to build a black (burned) barrier. It worked. The burn was risky due to the squirrelly winds we have had. If the wind shifted during the burn it would have been hard to get away fast enough in the light flashy fuels.
