Fierro Fire. 54 acres. On the 24th we got called of the Stockton Pass RX for a fire on the Gila N.F. This was not good news for us. In order to get R&R we need 14 days straight of work. Once we left AZ we lost our spot in Douglas for large fire preparedness. Chance are we go home after the Fierro fire. When we arrived they had called in three other hotshot crews. The fire was small enough for it to get lined and mopped in one day.

On the 25th we headed home for Negrito loosing our chances at getting 14 days. We stopped in Silver City to make calls to SWICC and possibly get on another fire. It turned out the Silver City hotshots got the large fire preparedness spot in Douglas AZ that we had. SWICC couldn't contact the supervisor from Silver IHC who took off for regular days off. In a twist of fate SWICC gave us the dispatch to Douglas again. So... on the road to AZ again.
